| Abstract:
Let’s Connect has invested in numerous on-site learning clinics across emerging communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. This presentation aims to disseminate key insights gained from these initiatives, drawing on the firsthand experiences of Let's Connect members who led these initiatives in their respective communities. During this panel discussion, the team leads from each community will share their experiences, successes, challenges, and lessons learned. This will strengthen engagement with Let’s Connect’s efforts and explore opportunities to support more African communities in adopting similar peer learning programs, leveraging the expertise of Let's Connect members. |

| How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region?
Let’s Connect has actively supported communities across the Middle East and Africa, notably funding three initiatives in Kwara, Nigeria; the Hausa Community, Nigeria; and Tanzania, each hosting multiple in-person peer learning programs. By sharing our experiences, successes, failures, and lessons learned, we aim to empower larger African Wikimedia communities to replicate and adapt these models for their own growth and sustainability. | |||
