> 1. What are Wikimedia movement affiliates? What is AffCom?

> Wikimedia movement affiliates are "independent and formally recognised"

> As of now, processes are fragmented across different teams at the

> 3. What is the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy? Is this an update

> Until now there has not been any unified vision regarding how the work

> strategy developed before. The Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy is
> to be a blueprint that will guide the Foundation’s immediate work with
> affiliates. This strategy will be in place to inform and guide the
> Wikimedia Foundation budget and support to affiliates, until some kind of
> Movement-wide Affiliates Strategy is developed.
>
> 4. Why do we need a Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy?
>
> The Affiliates are a key part of the Wikimedia movement as mentioned in

 Hi all,

 Wikimedia projects would not be possible without the work of the
 countless volunteers, passionately working on bringing free knowledge to
 the world. This month we Wikicelebrate
 one of
 such volunteers: Donatien Kangah (User:Papischou), a Wikimedian from Côte
 d'Ivoire, editor of French language Wikipedia, a community leader active on
 local, regional, and global levels, a huge football fan, and the co-creator
 of the Wikimedia Community User Group Côte d'Ivoire.

 Donatien is an experienced Wikipedia trainer, and a member of
 Wikifranca micro grant committee. He supported Wikimania through his
 activity in the scholarship committee, worked in the capacity building
 group for Movement Strategy and collaborated with communities from Senegal,
 Togo, Chad and Guinea. Most of his engagement is connected to the Community
 User Group Côte d'Ivoire, which he co-founded and which he now leads.

 For Donatien the value of editing lies in learning through sharing.
 “Each act of sharing knowledge in Wikipedia is about checking sources,
 discovering new facts. Even if I already know a lot about the topic, I
 discover new facts in sources. It is like swimming in information. Sharing
 knowledge is not a passive process, it is a constant discovery. Through
 contributing I have learned a lot about my country, Africa and the world.
 Editing allows you to grow through giving”, says Donatien.

 Learn more about Donatien, and his amazing work on Diff
 
 or on Meta .

 Each month we WikiCelebrate a different Wikimedian, acknowledging the
 amazing community, the pillars of our movement. We warmly invite you to
 participate in the celebrations. If there’s an outstanding Wikimedian that
 you think should be celebrated, recommend
 them.


 Happy Celebrating,

 Mahuton, Mehrdad and Natalia

Hi everyone!

I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized [1] 
Wikimedia Community User Group Botswana [2] as a Wikimedia User Group. The 
group aims to to promote the use of Wikimedia and its sister projects by the 
residents of Botswana, and to also help in creating awareness on how the 
everyday Botswana can contribute to the pool of free knowledge, which is 
Wikimedia; most especially in the translation efforts into the major local 
languages (Setswana).

Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!
