What is the difference: Africa, Oral Genealogy & FS.org/Africa?

I found this collection, titled "Africa, Oral Genealogy, 1500-2022"(https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/collection/5000018)

Does this collection search the same records that are found here: https://www.familysearch.org/africa/ ?

Are they the same?

If not, what does the "Africa, Oral Genealogy" collection contain?

Thank you for your help!

    The "Oral Genealogies" are from the Genealogies section: in effect, they are submitted family trees.

    You'll find source records from the continent of Africa listed under the individual countries. For example:
    https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/location/africa/uganda

    Hope this helps.
