WikiAfrica Hour is a monthly vodcast to support the activities of the WikiAfrica movement and wikimedians across Africa.
Launched in 2021, WikiAfrica Hour initiates frank, sometimes controversial conversations on the last Wednesday of each month. The live broadcast is produced and facilitated by Wiki In Africa’s Isla Haddow-Flood and Florence Devouard. Donia Domiaty is the current WikiAfrica Hour production coordinator. WikiAfrica News, prepared by Nonny Ntlahla and presented by Nonny and Donia, ensures Africa’s Wikimedians do not miss out on opportunities from the wider global Open community. In 2024, key figures from the community are guest hosts in a revitalized format of WikiAfrica Hour, which now also features an “In Focus” segment.

Interacting with guest(s) (if any) and taking questions from community members
Promoting synergy within the Wiki community by discussing topics, projects, constraints, collaborations, and opportunities.
