- All published reports and evidence documents, including the Pilot Learning Report
- All original written content published on this website

Fair use and citation: Researchers, journalists, and educators may quote limited extracts from our published content for the purposes of commentary, criticism, or research, provided that WEDGE Africa is clearly attributed as the source and the extract is not used in a misleading way.

Knowledge Hub and downloadable tools
WEDGE Africa's Knowledge Hub (launching October 2026) provides access to a range of resources at different access levels. The following terms apply to all Knowledge Hub materials:
- Free / open-access materials — such as the Pilot Learning Report and policy briefs — may be downloaded and shared freely, provided WEDGE Africa is credited as the source and the material is not modified or used out of context.
- Practitioner tools — such as the Farm Record Book and Facilitator's Guide — are made available under specific licence terms communicated at the point of access. Purchasing or downloading a tool does not transfer ownership; it grants a limited, non-exclusive licence to use it for the purposes specified.
- Organisational licences — for delivery of the GROW methodology — are governed by a separate written licence agreement between WEDGE Africa and the licensee. These Terms do not constitute or replace that agreement.
- Facilitator Academy materials — are provided exclusively to enrolled participants and may not be shared, redistributed, or republished.

In particular:
- Programme data and impact figures are updated periodically and may not reflect the most recent position at any given moment
- Information about partnership opportunities, pricing, and Knowledge Hub availability is subject to change without notice
- Content describing future plans — including the 2026–2030 strategic roadmap — represents our intentions and targets, not guarantees of outcomes
