1. Increase the Sustainability of Our Movement:

b. Tyap Wiki Bootcamp: A bootcamp for Tyap-speaking people to immerse themselves in editing, recording words, and creating Wikipedia articles and Wiktionary entries in Tyap and English. This bootcamp will be organized in collaboration with the Tyap Language Development Board (TLDB).
c. Wiki Loves X Campaigns: Participation in Wiki Loves Folklore, and Wiki Loves Africa to take images from underrepresented areas of the Central Nigerian Plateau for publishing on Wikimedia Commons.
2. Improve User Experience:
a. Friendly Working Space: Establishing a dedicated working space with necessary equipment for Wikimedia organization staff and community members.
b. Equipment for Programs: Providing necessary recording devices, smartphones, laptops, cameras, and other equipment required for program activities.
3. Coordinate Across Stakeholders:
a. Tyap Wikimedia Outreaches: Creating hubs in different Tyap-speaking towns, conducting edit-a-thons, and attending regional festivities to publicize the organization and gain support.
b. Tyap Wikimedia Outreach Follow-ups and Edit-a-thons: Providing in-person retraining for members from newly established hubs to enhance their editing skills.
c. Collaborative Wiktionary Editing: Collaborating with other Wikimedia affiliates to edit each other's languages in their respective Wiktionaries.
d. Wukintyap Office Hour: Dedicated time for volunteers to discuss and improve their understanding of the Wikimedia movement.
4. Investing in Skills and Leadership Development:
a. Staff Retreat: Retraining and gathering ideas from staff (paid and volunteering) to enhance organizational progress.
b. End-of-the-Year Get Together (Community Meetup): Organizing a relaxed gathering to appreciate contributors and engage in Wikimedia activities.
c. Micro-grants Program: Providing funds to community members and hubs for community-building projects.
NB: The program has been aligned with the Wikimedia Foundation 2030 Movement Strategies by focusing on community growth, content expansion, outreach, engagement, capacity building, and support. The specific focus on the Tyap language has been removed to align with the broader movement strategies.
