Continental organizing team

Anthere
Florence Devouard (aka Anthere) is a founding member of Wiki Loves Africa. She has co-lead the photo contest since 2014.

Islahaddow
A Zimbabwean by birth, and a Capetonian by adoption, Oxford-educated Isla Haddow-Flood is a writer, editor and project strategist who is passionate about harnessing communication technology and media platforms for the advancement of open access to knowledge; specifically, knowledge that relates to and enhances the understanding of Africa via the Open Movement (and especially Wikipedia). Isla is a founding member of Wiki Loves Africa, and has co-lead the project since 2014. For the 2020 project, Isla will be in charge of all aspects of communications and marketing to support the international drive, and local teams with their information and outreach activities, and to entice competitors across Africa through social media and publicity campaigns. She will also help the team with assessing image quality and suitability, and with answering any queries that might arise during the competition.

Ceslause Ogbonnaya
Ceslause Ogbonnaya joined the Wikimedia movement in 2018, and has been actively involved in the Igbo Wikimedians User Group. In 2020, he was one of the grantees of Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) annual project grant, and he was also the Project lead for the 2020 Igbo Wikimedians User Group WPWP project.

User:Romaine
Romaine has been a contributor to Wikimedia projects since 2003; over the years helping out as administrator of several wikis, GLAM volunteer, publisher of the Wikimedia newsletter This Month in GLAM. He's often fixing template problems, active with bots, and is since 2014 involved with the organization of Wiki Loves Africa.

Ji-Elle
Not making much noise, but Ji-Elle is the master behind image reuse. Every year, she spends hours (days) going to every single image uploaded, adding description when possible, fixing countries, adding categories and inserting them whenever it makes sense in a wikipedia article. She is the reason why our re-use rate is SO good !
