What are the WAI Group Rules?
- When joining, introduce yourself and your work on investments in Africa.
- The Chatham House Rule applies. This means members express their views privately, and it is not allowed to screenshot discussions and share outside of the group.
- If your post/link is not directly related to African investments, do not post.
- Leverage the group for your mission, for example:
a. poll or survey the group using StrawPoll/ Google Forms
b. post your hiring needs to boost hiring of women
c. share deals for which you seek co-investment (ensure you disclose your relationship to the deal)
d. request to co-brand your event with WAI Group where useful
e. challenge, build trust and drive accountability through debate
f. schedule a meet-up in your city
g. create a subgroup on Whatsapp or Slack for co-created projects or deep-dives - Avoid Linkedin-style, self-promotional posts. The group is for discussions, not for advertising your fundraising or consulting services.
- Avoid chatter and cluttering the group with posts that should be DMs (Direct Messages). Try to avoid interrupting ongoing discussion threads.
- Members represent themselves, not their organisations (except where explicit).
