What are the WAI Group Rules?

  1. When joining, introduce yourself and your work on investments in Africa.
  2. 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.
  3. If your post/link is not directly related to African investments, do not post.
  4. 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
  5. Avoid Linkedin-style, self-promotional posts. The group is for discussions, not for advertising your fundraising or consulting services.
  6. Avoid chatter and cluttering the group with posts that should be DMs (Direct Messages). Try to avoid interrupting ongoing discussion threads.
  7. Members represent themselves, not their organisations (except where explicit).
