canopy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'partial shade' is the definition.
'canopy' can be an answer for 'shade' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'partial' bit.

'in africa no pyramid' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'CANOPY' can be found hidden inside 'africa no pyramid'.

'provided' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
