Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Shoodho/Wiki Loves Africa 2021 Botswana

Comments from WMF

Hello Shoodho, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request and for leading the WLA contest in Botswana. I have reviewed your proposal and have the following questions and requests:

• Could you please add the total requested amount in your local currency to the probox?
• In terms of the budget, please make the following changes:
  • Online advertising campaign - reduce to 150 USD maximum.
  • Internet Subscription - will you provide internet subscription for all 25 participants?
  • Gift Cards - there is a discrepancy in this row. The total prize budget is mentioned as 350 USD, while the breakdown adds up to 450 USD. Please fix the discrepancy and limit the prize budget to 350 USD maximum.
  • Contingency and miscellaneous expenses - reduce this expense by half (50 USD).
  • Update the total requested budget after making the requested changes.

I’m looking forward to your responses. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 14:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
