This 1-page pdf flyer provides a brief overview of the People and Skills Specification, which provides a structure for verifying the skills and experiences needed to make something specific, by providing a shared taxonomy of skills and experiences and a framework for the recognition of this knowledge. The specification aids in the ability to locate the skills and expertise required to make a thing, and gives makers the ability to highlight their skills and experiences to potential employers, collaborators, and policy makers.

Makerspaces are viewed as useful labs in communities as they present users with the relevant tools and equipment that facilitate education, creativity and innovation. Unfortunately, tracking and measuring the impact of makerspaces in Africa has been a challenge and that can be partly attributed to the absence of clear impact indicators. In an attempt to contribute to solving the said challenge, this study presents 74 indicators that can be used by makerspaces in Africa to track and record their impact.
