WikiAfrica Hour #48: Funding the Future: Understanding Wikimedia Grants and How to Access Them
How does funding shape the future of free knowledge in Africa and beyond? In this episode of WikiAfrica Hour, we dive deep into the world of Wikimedia grants — from rapid funds to multi-year support. We bring together voices from the Wikimedia Foundation and real-life grant recipients to demystify the process and share valuable tips on choosing the right grant, applying effectively, and navigating the new Fluxx system.
