Proposal edit
1. What is the overall vision of your organization and how does this proposal contribute to this? How does this proposal connect to past work and learning?
Our vision is to promote access to — and drive people to writing, curation and development of — Wikimedia educational contents and dissemination of free knowledge, with special focus on the Hausa Language editions; engage and equip volunteers with necessary skills and resources to develop the contents under a free license and also share the contents freely with others.
In pursuit of this vision, Hausa Wikimedians User Group has organized various general outreach campaigns, training workshops and contests which collectively brought considerable success to the Wikipedia project and revived the dormant community in the past 4 years beginning with the successful maiden Northern Nigeria Outreach Project of 2018 that brought unprecedented awareness to Wikimedia projects in the region and energized volunteers to work on the projects with special focus on the Hausa editions.
Over the years, the User Group projects and activities were largely organized through individual efforts and grants with limited co-ordination and heavily skewed participation towards certain regions and imbalanced gender composition. Our level of growth and expanding aspiration however calls for more strategic and concerted efforts to, among other, strengthen our community resilience, consolidate the foundation laid by our projects so far, ensure equity and better regional representations as well increase our reach and engagement to key locations through well-defined annual plan and moreover, improve our organizational structure to guarantee our sustainability and organizational continuity for the foreseeable future.
This General Support Fund application is hereby put forward to request funding support our User Group in executing these strategic activities that in effect, will advance the overall Wikimedia mission, help our community to thrive and also provide the User Group with necessary financial support for implementing the planned activities in working towards materializing our vision for the period of 2023 Hausa Wikimedians UserGroup fiscal year.
2. What is the change that you are trying to bring about and why is this important?
Our community is experiencing growth in multiple facets including editor recruitment, content quantitative growth in ha.wikipedia as well as overall Wikimedia participation.
However, there are also a number of challenges and inefficiencies bedeviling the current situation. There is a lack of/limited coordination in projects, lack of strategic partnerships with universities, disproportionate number of community events taking place in a particular location due to absence of long-term strategic plans, lack of or inadequate continuation and sustenance of projects with high potential due to the limitation of Rapid Fund program resources that does not allow long-term and connected activities. This project would give the needed avenue and resources to address these challenges through well-planned, logically-connected structured activities that would engender progress and continuity.
We would also effect change to address content quality and reliability issues by building the capacity of experienced editors to gravitate towards copyediting and ‘Articles improvement’ drive instead of focusing on creation activities all the time on Hausa projects. The content of ha.wikipedia has seen a big increase quantitatively averaging almost 5,000 articles per year due to various outreach and editing programs organized in the community, however the quality of some content is subpar, due to focus by new editors and naive organizers — who themselves need capacity building training — on quantity.
We would like to broaden general Wikimedia awareness to further communities and localities beyond where we have reached now. While Wikimedia awareness has changed in the region in the past few years, narrow spread still remains a serious concern as most activities take place within a few locations due to factors which include lack of awareness in other strategic places as well as limitation of resources. We have a lot of unreached communities and we hope to be able to reach them through editing workshops, contests and video campaigns.
In terms of content and engagement with ha.wikipedia we would like to continue with promotion and awareness campaigns through all our available channels and during workshop talk opportunities to encourage people, students, teachers and researchers to utilize Wikipedia content through reading and reuse, this aspect is equally as important as writing the content and also does have effect in pulling volunteer contributors.
We have editor retention challenges where participants show great enthusiasm and active participation (create account and start editing well, during the course of a particular program); however these participants are lost (will likely not edit again, until during another in-person event where the internet is provided). Part of the issues discovered through evaluation of our programs and informal community discussions, revealed internet data cost as one of the top issues that hinder continuous participation of good contributors. Also some people need little push through incentive and support before developing a natural passion for volunteer projects participation. Additionally, data cost in Nigeria is relatively high and soaring with rising inflation and currency fall. We would like to experiment with light-weight intervention we designed as a Volunteer Data Support program to help in mitigating some of these problems leading to non-continuous editing or that discourage new editors from participating and also at the same time improve the situation and increase retention rate as well as overall community development.
We would like to address the partnership issue through strategic partnership with at least two universities where we will organize special programs and forge long-term partnership for mutual benefit, as well as widening the reach of Wikimedia active participation as opposed to passive (reading only) which is more prevalent in university campuses.
3. Describe your main approaches or strategies to achieve these changes and why you think they will be effective.
To achieve our envisioned change, Hausa Wikimedians User Group has developed these four strategies:
Strategy 1: Generation of content, quality improvement on Wikipedia and volunteer recruitment to increase the contributor pool. We opted for in-person editing activity as our core approach in generating and improving quality of content based on overall effectiveness we recorded in our prior programs and limitations associated with organizing such events in virtual medium in our project location due to many factors beyond our control.
Strategy 2: Community building and resilience; cohesive community and capacity building. To ensure our long-term sustainability as a community, it’s imperative to nurture future trainers and organizers and divide responsibilities as much as possible to avoid over reliance on an individual, because we would not be there forever, and people with significant responsibility can abruptly leave for whatever reasons. In building capacity, we are trying to develop a pool of skilled, active and engaged contributors and facilitators such that there’s no time where Wikimedia activities cease or degrade in quality due to lack of skilled contributors that can sustain the programs. This approach aligns strategically with the Movement Strategy recommendation that encourages investing skills and leadership development.
Strategy 3: Contests, increasing participation and engagement/Partnerships: Contests are very effective in drawing a large number of contributors in a short time. Although not all continue to contribute after the end of a contest, a significant number do. Through this approach, we are targeting the people that remain or need incentive to remain and we hope to increase the rate with well-organized and fair contests. We would also like to increase user engagement with Wikimdia during and after these contests through social media contents, invitation emails, posters and flex banners. We decide to use social media ads and video campaigns due to their effectiveness in pushing messages to intended audiences within a short time. Short films/documentaries are well-received in our country and do receive huge viewership that eclipses local television stations. In partnership, we select universities due to the support they provide in supporting educational initiatives, ability to develop students fan clubs and build a foundation for sustenance of Wikimedia activity with the support of the partner institution.
Strategy 4: Increasing retention rate, reducing barriers to participation and Volunteer Data Support program; Based on our findings that show internet subscription as one of the factors causing low retention rate and inhibiting new people from joining, we proposed the support program to provide assistance, and improve both retention and joining rates.
4. What are the activities you will be developing and delivering as part of these approaches or strategies?
We have these broad division of activities:
- Activities for strategy 1: Content generation, capacity building and volunteer recruitment:
We would be organizing monthly in-person editing and capacity building workshops (12 in total) in strategic locations to both improve and create new content and also teach and onboard newcomers. In addition, to strengthen the skills of existing editors and nurture experienced editors to develop more bonds with the community, become more productive and potential facilitators for our programs to increase the overall health and capacity of the community.
- Activities for strategy 2: Community building, resilience and reducing barriers for participation.
In the community development activities, we will be organizing quarterly general community-wide meetings to deliberate on our strategic plans, arising issues, changes, on-ground challenges and development from various activities organized or in the works. We would organize one Annual General Meeting for overall reflection and deliberation on our work, success and challenges, risk and mitigation plans as well as roadmap development and strategy refining for next fiscal year. Our Volunteer Data Support program activity also overlaps the activities for this section.
- Activities for strategy 3: Increasing participation and engagement: Contests, campaigns and strategic partnership with universities.
We will participate in strategic and yearly Wikimedia International contests including, but not limited to, Wiki Loves Monument, 1Lib1Ref and Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaigns to afford our community an opportunity to participate in these global activities and enrich the content of ha.wikipedia and Wikimedia projects in general. As these campaigns usually award token prizes and certificates, participation would help our community in increasing participation of users who need some push through awards and small incentives like certificates and souvenirs while at the same time improving the contents of the Wikimedia projects. We will create a video documentary through the video campaign and street interview to promote Wikipedia, show simplicity of participation and how-to as well as to amplify awareness to the work community is doing through video format which is one of the most effective means of reaching youth and students in our region. The program will include interviews with community faces, passive readers as well as encouragement notes to spread more awareness and draw an increment in overall Wikimedia engagement from Hausa-speaking people. We will create partnerships that will engender growth and expand reach with at least two public universities/colleges of education and would organize special editing programs together with the partner in each institution to train teachers and students, form fan clubs and formulate strategic ways to sustain activities and work together for mutual benefit.
- Activities for strategy 4: Increasing retention rate and reducing barriers to participation (Volunteer Data Support program):
Through this we would introduce a subsidy program for monthly internet data cost support to at least 10 different people each month that are facing difficulties with internet data plans to support participation and community development. The recipient would be selected through an open and fair nomination process to be developed by the community with workable objective criteria to determine recipients with demonstrated need through independent assessment. During research for developing our Strategic Plan and this application we found the need for this activity/support intervention and consulted with the community where we received positive feedback and expectation for rewarding implementation.
The Volunteer Data Support program would provide the data bundle to the recipient, the money or reimbursement where possible and while the award is small overall, it will provide significant support to a lot of people and accelerate community growth. The nomination process for the program would be in public mode and either through self-nomination or nomination by a third party that believes the nominee is facing difficulties with data issues or needs the support to help them in continuing to make useful contributions. Reasonable limitations and mitigations against abuse would be developed and employed to ensure maximum impact is achieved and allocation is made where needed the most. Impact and evaluation reports would be produced on a quarterly basis for the program to ensure prompt action to deal with unexpected issues. The program, we believe will have great impact in helping towards retention and also in terms of reducing barriers to participation.

8. Please state if your proposal aims to work to bridge any of the identified CONTENT knowledge gaps (Knowledge Inequity)? Select up to THREE that most apply to your work.
Content Gender gap, Geography, Language
8.1 In a few sentences, explain how your work is specifically addressing this content gap (or Knowledge inequity) to ensure a greater representation of knowledge.
We are trying to help improve the issue of content gap through covering important topics round the subregion that are currently not covered or neglected so as to enliven the ha.wikipedia and engender its use by students and researchers alike. We would contribute content and increase the quality of existing contents through our editing events. This strategy would at the end extend the breadth and diversity of knowledge presented on Wikimedia projects.
Additionally, we would also try to encourage users — and theme our in-person training — towards contributing to articles and topics that are rarely taken care of by most contributors such as on accomplished women and neglected topics important in society. Increasing participation in the Wikimedia program, which is part of our vision, will also eventually lead to more contribution of content from the drawn people with varied expertise and topic inclination whose contributions would eventually translate to closing the gap a bit further.
9. Please state if your proposal includes any of these areas or THEMATIC focus. Select up to THREE that most apply to your work and explain the rationale for identifying these themes.
Education, Culture, heritage or GLAM , Advocacy
10. Will your work focus on involving participants from any underrepresented communities? Please note, we had previously asked about inclusion and diversity in terms of CONTENTS, in this question we are asking about the diversity of PARTICIPANTS. Select up to THREE that most apply to your work.
Geographic , Linguistic / Language, Digital Access
11. What are your strategies for engaging participants, particularly those that currently are non-Wikimedia?
We will leverage our official website and social media channels which have growing followings and user engagement. We will primarily engage the audience through good and eye-catching graphic design and social media content, and also through our video campaign program. We will, additionally, utilize our existing personal and organizational network to reach out to schools, mission-aligned organizations and other cultural institutions for collaboration to spread our mission, expand reach and draw potential editors and Wikimedia contributors.
We will also engage, and recruit, students and teachers who are non-Wikimedians through special school programs for formal partnerships that we will develop with two universities in Katsina and Kaduna states during the course of the project.
Locations for our physical events would also be strategically selected to give room for diversity and spread so as to pull interested people with little to no awareness of Wikimedia projects from different parts of our focus region.
12. In what ways are you actively seeking to contribute towards creating a safer, supportive, more equitable environment for participants and promoting the UCOC and Friendly Space Policy, and/or equivalent local policies and processes?
For each program we organize, we will ensure we execute it in a place that’s conducive and safe as well as easy and accessible for the target participants to attend. We will continuously educate our potential participants on the imperative of safe space and harassment-free experience in Hausa Wikimedians User Group programs.
Additionally, the UCOC and the Friendly Space Policy will be duly enforced to the extent possible with the local regulations in all our programs. We will also work with our designers to print the summarized key points of the guidelines in a handy leaflet to pin to boards or readily share with participants of our program with pointers to the full texts to aid quick understanding and for future reference.
13. Do you have plans to work with Wikimedia communities, groups, or affiliates in your country, or in other countries, to implement this proposal?
Yes
13.1 If yes, please tell us about these connections online and offline and how you have let Wikimedia communities know about this proposal.
We have an active volunteer community that we engage in all our activities, through our social media channels and through in-person deliberations. We have discussed this application in various fora for over a year with different community members and stakeholders; and we incorporated thoughts and suggestions from the draft by experienced community members and event organizers with Wikimedia or other similar organizations.
In terms of in-house organizations and groups, we have worked closely with other Wikimedia communities in organizing various activities and we hope to expand the area of collaborations and scope of partnerships in the year 2023 to increase our reach and evolve our community. In the past, we worked with Wikimedia User Group Nigeria to implement the Decolonize the Internet project. In 2022 we collaborated with the Nigerian Commons Photographers User Group (Planned) in organizing the Wikimania 2022 watch parties and meetups.
14. Will you be working with other external, non-Wikimedian partners to implement this proposal?
No
14.1 Please describe these partnerships and what motivates the potential partner to be part of the proposal and how they add value to your work.
N/A
15. How do you hope to sustain or expand the work carried out in this proposal after the grant?
All the work carried out as part of this proposal will be properly documented with impact and learning metrics. We would utilize the evaluation reports to continuously improve our programs to maximize impact and reduce risk points, failure rate and inefficiency and also to provide us with a basis for working on another project.
Our internal processes also will be undergoing continuous review and would be strengthened especially as we become fully registered as Incorporated Trustees in Nigeria (this is already in the works), that would help in ensuring efficiency and guarantee leadership continuity and group resilience, growth and overall sustainability.
The Hausa Wikipedians User Group team is highly experienced, with members with deep understanding and active participation in Wikimedia communities and will continuously invite and engage experienced members of the community to help in implementing the programs and to reduce the bus factor. With a deep sense of belonging for everybody including newcomers, in-house and external experts, potential trainers and facilitators, the sustenance of the project would be guaranteed beyond this project even if one or more people withdraw from the community activities.
Furthermore, by the successful completion of this project we will hope to expand and continue the work started in this project through active collaboration with our current and potential partners and also another Wikimedia General Support fund for the next fiscal year
16. What kind of risks do you anticipate and how would you mitigate these. This can include factors such as external/contextual issues that may affect implementation, as well as internal issues, such as governance/leadership changes.
- Digital divide risks barrier due to internet cost issues: Based on evaluation reports from our previous programs and ground research in developing this application, some gparticipants in our program may lack the needed dispensable cash to cover internet on continuous basis; so after a particular program ends, some good editors cease editing until another in-person event is convened where we provide internet, this risk can affect this project. We have mitigation plans for the issue:
We will also utilize our proposed Volunteer Data Support program to help extend support to community members with difficulties related to cost of internet data to support continuous participation after a program ends. In our Volunteer Data Support program itself, we may face risks around non-participation without cogent reasons after accessing the support fund or data bundle. We will minimize these risks with reasonable limitations on the process to access the support and periodic check on recipients and proper orientation on purpose of the support and our overall objective. Additionally, we may checkmate this risk point where necessary through transferring the data bundle directly instead of cash and through per-person limitation access where impropriety or abuse is detected. Location accessibility and burnout are other risk points identified and we have plans for that. Issues surrounding accessibility to location can hinder growth and reduce impact if entire programs or series of programs are situated in one location, due to difficulties of distance travel and accommodation. We plan to mitigate these risks by alternating our programs to various strategic locations. This will not only remedy the identified issues, it will also give room for diversity and participation increase in our activities and eliminate the need for traveling distances to be able to attend the programs by potential editors. Moreover, to further contain the risk of burnout, our monthly editing workshop program would be organized in alternations across the strategic locations selected, so it can take place for instance every other month in a particular location, in different states where the majority of our community members and general people can easily access and participate with ease without feeling of being overburdened or developing disinterest. So the 12 total monthly editing workshops are layered in a careful way to achieve greater impact and more effective implementation. In partnership project with universities, we may face logistical issues due to industrial strike often embarked by these universities staff. Part of our mitigation plans is to move the partnership with another university/college if necessary since not all the schools go on strike at the same time. Alternative plan is to change the partnership program period in consultation with the partner since the strike will not last a year (based on current situations) in this project period or may not even happen at all.
17. In what ways do you think your proposal most contributes to the Movement Strategy 2030 recommendations. Select a maximum of three options that most apply.
Increase the Sustainability of Our Movement, Improve User Experience, Innovate in Free Knowledge

Learning, Sharing, and Evaluation edit
19. What do you hope to learn from your work in this fund proposal?
We would like to understand the most effective community building strategy for productive growth and also to identify activities and approaches that are of high impact in helping to achieve our overall vision, realistically implementable within the limit of our human and financial resources and resonate well with our current and potential community members.
We would like to identify, and learn from, activities that work well in increasing the number of committed volunteers and in nurturing skilled trainers that can help expand the number of our facilitators and project-specific experts. Moreover, we would learn how to develop effective relationships with mission-aligned organizations, cultural institutions as well as educational institutions through our university partnership editing program.
Additionally, we would like to understand the impact or success of our programs on the participants and overall community as a whole from both editing and non-editing activities as well as physical and virtual engagements. We would like to learn the challenges too, and effective ways of tackling them.
In our special approach for complete newcomers, we would like to understand the most effective activities and programs that are both engaging and fun and at the same time allow people to learn the ropes of editing in an easy way and accelerate the timeframe needed for the newcomers to assimilate the community’s and Wikipedia’s values as well as editing community’s guidelines and etiquettes.
We would also hope to learn the approaches that work best in retaining existing active and expert contributors and working hand in hand with them in helping to onboard newcomers and also in contributing high quality content during our editing programs with people that are new.
We will additionally hope to learn from the impact of our Volunteer Data Support program and its effect in retaining people for longer-term contribution and increased participation to Wikimedia activities.

21. Additional core quantitative metrics. These core metrics will not tell the whole story about your work, but they are important for measuring some Movement-wide changes. Please try to include these core metrics if they are relevant to your work. If they are not, please use the space provided to explain why they are not relevant or why you can not capture this data. Your explanation will help us review our core metrics and make sure we are using the best ones for the movement as a whole.

21.1 If for some reason your proposal will not measure these core metrics please provide an explanation.
The quantitative metrics for contributions are generally for editing activities arising from an organized event not sum contributions of the entire community members during the project course. Our emphasis would be more building experience of community members and instilling passion for contribution to the focus projects at peoples will and free times.
Our success in training newbies, growing pool of experienced editors and cultivating minds for editing Wikimedia projects would lead to much more volume of editing by individual editors at their own free time, outside event location; such edits would not be captured in these metrics, but the overall growth would be seen when the states of our focus projects are compared before and after the projects.
So in deciding these numbers, we are mindful of the exigency of time and other limiting factors for activities during in-person events.
22. What tools would you use to measure each metric selected?
We will employ variety of tools to measure metrics in the course of implementing this project. Particularly for edit-athons/editing and related programs we will make use of the Wikimedia Outreach Dashboard and Wikimedia Event Metrics to create and manage events participants and organizers under the specific campaign. These tools will allow us to gather statistics and follow programs progress and evaluate impact eventually.
For campaigns and contests that employ use of hashtag, we will utilize the Hashtag tool to track and measure the progress and impact of the campaign.
We may additionally utilize Google and Microsoft forms to gather necessary data about participants that may be used to identify attendees, make customized gifts, or for other logistics reasons as the case may be; we may also use the same services to collect survey responses for gauging impact and/or impression during or after our programs as the need arises.
Other details and metrics may be collected manually where this is proved better and shared online with Google Doc/Sheet services, our website or on wiki pages on Meta-Wiki as the situation warrants.
