Wiki Indaba is a gathering of African Wikimedians and other open knowledge volunteers who are aligned to the Wikimedia Foundation mission. This is the first regional conference to be held by and for African chapters in Africa, the region of the world with the lowest Wikipedia coverage.

The Fast Forward Programme Overview_May_16Saoirse McCann
In Suas our vision is a world where children can access quality education. A world where all girls and boys can develop the skills they need to thrive in our global, digital world. We know that basic education is vital, but without 21st century skills many children - especially girls - are being denied opportunities for a better life.
To work towards this vision we've developed the Fast Forward Programme - currently being delivered in Kenya and Zambia. Through Fast Forward we're working in collaboration with Sub-Saharan schools and communities to help children succeed in the 21st century.
Fast Forward is offering girls and boys more than just primary education - it's giving them and their teachers the skills they need and deserve for a brighter future.
