WikiAfrica Hour is a monthly vodcast to support the activities of the WikiAfrica movement and wikimedians across Africa.

In 2021, Wiki In Africa launched the WikiAfrica Hour. WikiAfrica Hour is a live broadcast, conversation-based monthly ‘vodcast’ that aims to reconnect, network, and drive sharing and collaborations across the continent. Until November 2023 the show was hosted by Ceslause Ogbonnaya. In 2024, we have invited guest hosts to add more voices from the host’s chair. The project is facilitated at Wiki In Africa by Donia Domiaty.

WikiAfrica Hour focuses on:

Sharing current updates, and highlights of African Wikimedians’ activities
Interacting with its guests and taking questions from community members
Promoting synergy within the Wiki community by discussing topics, projects, constraints, collaborations, and opportunities.
