Grants talk:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wiki Loves Africa 2024 Campaign in Northeast Nigeria. (ID: 22391719)

Endorsment from Anthere (talk)

I do not recognize the group name (the landscape is really becoming hard to follow in Nigeria...) but I recognize some names listed in the proposition, including one person who was the lead for the Fulfude group last year (group that did a good job). So I guess I support :) I will note I have not seen the detailed budget.
Why don’t you join Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Wiki Loves Africa 2024:Africa Create in North Eastern Nigeria (ID: 22391585) though ?

Not Funded

Hello @Meritkosy thank you for submitting your application for the rapid fund grant. After careful review, we have decided not to fund your application at this time and we have the following recommendations

• Consider aligning this work on the Wiki Loves Africa 2023, with the broader strategy implemented by Wikimedia UG Nigeria (please see here). The success of Wiki Loves Monuments 2023, was a good demonstration of the power and effectiveness of collaboration amongst groups within Nigeria. It would potentially be more impactful if the Wiki Loves Africa 2024 is implemented as a coordinated national contest. As such we recommend that the team reaches out to the Wikimedia User Group of Nigeria - which is already planning a national campaign - for the support that you may need to ensure the impact of your project.
