Using Web mapping/coverage/feature services - the italian "geoportale cartografico nazionale" has many resources but is incredibly slow (freezes QGIS as it tries to download the data) - other services like https://www.geoportal.org/ (see tutorial pdf "access geodata") allow to mine for data available as download or services.

We used the https://www.geoportal.org/ portal to look for W(F/M/C)S data - some web services work, some other providers are not active . Afromaison provides services for some African countries. We connect to the services using QGIS resource manager or the menù "Add layer"=> ... and adding URLs to services panels. See tutorial in pdf below for more details.
