From April to July 2025, the Wiki In Africa team spent considerable time reviewing the past 5 years of work and analysing what is essential to carry forward. Much of the work was done through internal thought-provoking workshops, asynchronous reviews, and community research. We asked the Wikimedia community what they wanted and conducted multiple in-person interviews with key Wikimedians. The team was also guided through an Impact Strategy workshop by external consultants Skating Panda. This page shares some of those explorations and the final results.
The core values are the fabric of our organisation. The staff of Wiki In Africa held several meetings in early 2025 to affirm the core values they aspire to in the work we do across Africa and beyond.

Two Stakeholder Mapping workshops were conducted to assess stakeholders at a programmatic, governance and operational level. A third workshop was conducted with an external partner where stakeholders were prioritised and in what ways 3 years of successful interaction would benefit the stakeholders.
The PESTLE workshop raised issues that might influence the work we are doing. The PESTLE framework allowed us to consider opportunities and threat across Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Evironmental spaces.

In the 2nd quarter of 2025, Wiki In Africa asked its larger Wikimedia community to respond to a 14-question survey. The survey received 47 fantastic responses in English and French. We are very grateful for the time the community has taken to answer these questions.
