CIS-A2K/Events/Indian Community Capacity Development

Indian Community Capacity Development is a program which is inspired by Community Capacity Development program because the idea of the program is similar to it. The program was run by Asaf (WMF). CIS-A2K is following the initiative and trying to implement it in India. Community Capacity Development was an initiative that aims at identifying needs and ways to build capacity in different Wikimedia communities and then initiating specific actions to build specific capacities in specifically interested communities. CIS-A2K is also doing the same efforts with Indian communities and User groups. A2K is focusing on their activities, growth, leadership, building capacity and etc. The program is for all Indian communities who want to work for their growth and want to make a strong user group.
