Grant proposal

edit

Please state the title of your proposal. This will also be a title for the Meta-Wiki page.

Wikimedia Ghana User Group Project Grant 2022/2023

Where will this proposal be implemented?

Ghana

Indicate if it is a local, international, or regional proposal and if it involves several countries? (optional)

Local

If you have answered regional or international, please write the country names and any other information that is useful for understanding your proposal.

What are the main challenges you are trying to solve and your proposed solution?

Compared to other digital content products by companies like Meta, Alphabet, ByteDance, Twitter etc., in Ghana, Wikimedia wikis (and the Movement) though just as valuable, are still obscure to internet users.

Through workshops and online public relations campaigns, this grant will tackle ignorance about the content creation for Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, ignorance about the Movement behind the content, and increase the uber low numbers of active editors in Ghana.

Please state if you will be carrying out any of these activities within your programs? Select all that apply.

Are you running any in-person events or activities?
