Part 1 Understanding your work edit

1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented.

WikiNipost event in Nigeria

Train the trainers in south-east Nigeria

Our proposed activities and strategies were implemented through some pragmatic program implementation and collaborations among community members, affiliated communities, and partnerships.

Wiki Loves and other Contests

Our Wiki Loves and other contests were implemented in collaboration with several affiliate communities in Nigeria, such as the Yoruba Wikimedians User Group, Hausa Wikimedians User Group, and Igbo Wikimedians User Group. They were also implemented with states such as the Lagos State Government and federal government agencies such as the National Commission for Museums and Monuments. Remote events were funded with our microgrants to promote inclusion, equity, and diversity of contribution.

GLAM Projects

This year, we created 52 audiovisual recordings of oral history, and these materials have been donated to academic institutions, including the University of Lagos and the University of Ibadan. Some of the videos have also been used on Wikipedia articles.

Micro-Support Grant

The microgrant support was implemented as proposed and was managed by an independent committee that reviews and approves grant requests under the supervision of a grant officer. More than 30 grant requests have been funded.

Other projects

Other projects were implemented in collaboration with our fan clubs, partners, the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia affiliates communities. Our Office Hour featured diverse participants and speakers including the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, Maryanna Iskander. Other activities implemented are International Museum Day 2022, Reactivation of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism Hub, Train the Trainers initiative, Anambra State Network launch to mention a few.

2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals?

Naija Office Hours- October edition

Oral knowledge and tradition : This year we adopted a "donate to academic institutions’ approach for our oral history documentation project. In the past, we only uploaded the files to Commons and used them on Wikipedia articles. This year, we directly donated the resources to major academic institutions in Nigeria. This strategy works effectively for that project.
Wikimedia Nigeria networks and fan clubs: In the past, activities were centrally coordinated in Lagos. This does not only limit the diversity of contributions but also inhibits inclusion and equity. People outside of Lagos found it difficult to be involved in our activities, but the launch of communities in states of Nigeria and having them coordinate their activities with technical and funding support from the Wikimedia UG Nigeria was really helpful. Activities are no longer centralized in Lagos..
Microgrant support : The microgrant program was effective in achieving our goals. Our goal is to ensure that contributors to Wikimedia projects in Nigeria are adequately supported and provided with the resources to enhance their contributions. The micro-grant support program was effective in achieving those goals.
Wiki in School (WiS) : This program was aimed at engaging academics in the Wikimedia project as a way to change their perception about Wikipedia and the Wikimedia project. The program was a pilot, but it was effective in achieving our goals of involving Nigerian academics in Wikimedia projects.
Naija Office Hour: The Naija Office Hour is a platform where community members come together to network, share learning, build capacity, and learn about global Wikimedia activities. It has featured numerous experts outside and within the Wikimedia movement, including the CEO of the WMF, Maryanna Iskander. This program is effective in promoting learning among its diverse participants.

3. Would you say that your project had any innovations? Are there things that you did very differently than you have seen them done by others?

Group photo after the donation of the audiovisuals to the University of Lagos

Yes, and some of the innovations have been highlighted in the above sections, but we would like to outline some major innovations.

Oral knowledge and tradition: Traditionally, contents created by the community or through community efforts are only contributed to Wikimedia projects, but little or no effort has been made to directly donate them to institutions where they would be most useful. Several GLAM projects have been implemented within the Wikimedia movement, and audiovisual contents have been created, but we have not seen such materials donated to academic institutions.As an innovative approach to promoting accessibility to our oral history audiovisual materials, we have donated them to academic institutions, and efforts are still underway to donate them to cultural institutions for educational purposes. This is an innovation we are proud of.
Microgrant support : This is the first microgrant support that will be implemented in sub-Saharan Africa. This is an intervention and innovative approach to ensure that contributors to Wikimedia projects in Nigeria are adequately supported and provided with the resources to enhance their contributions. The microgrant implementation has been very successful and has served as a model for other communities, such as the Igbo Wikimedians User Group. See the evaluation report
Staffing: Prior to the annual plan grant, activities were largely managed by volunteers, and in some cases, activities were poorly managed due to a lack of expertise or specific skill sets needed to effectively implement the projects. The annual grant support allows us to get dedicated staff to manage activities, and this has been effective in program and activity implementation.

4. Please describe how different communities participated and/or were informed about your work.

Capacity building workshop for Wikimedia community members

Different communities were notified and participated in our activities. Monthly, we publish snippets of activities to be implemented by the community, and community members are invited to participate in these activities.

These invitations are sent directly through our community WhatsApp group and social media networks. Other affiliate communities were also invited to collaborate. For example, we donated the audiovisual works to academic institutions jointly with the Yoruba Wikimedians User Group, who also donated their audiovisual works on indigenous vocations.

We collaborated with the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Action Against Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants (A-TIPSOM) Nigeria, the Nigeria Police Force, the Yoruba Wikimedians User Group, the Igbo Wikimedians User Group, the Hausa Wikimedians User Group, and the Nigeria Immigration Service. We have also collaborated with the Tyap Wikimedians User Group on Wiki Loves Monuments projects.

On average, 85 members of the community participate in our bimonthly office hours and other thematic projects such as the International Museum Day, micro-grants, local events, and other events organized by our affiliate networks in various states and fan clubs in academic institutions.

All social media posts are also shared with community members for engagement. This has helped to connect the community to our programs and activities. Specific contact details have also been provided for community members who may want to contact us on specific issues.

We also use Wikimedia Diff to communicate our programs to our community and the global Wikimedia community. We actively use our social media as well.

5. Documentation of your impact. Please use the two spaces below to share files and links that help tell your story and impact. This can be documentation that shows your results through testimonies, videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, etc.) social media posts, dashboards, etc.

Part 2: Your main learning edit

8. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?

From our micro grants, we learnt the following

Participants satisfaction with the Naija Office Hour Model

Impact of the Naija Office Hour on participants learning

Capacity building and the contents campaign were the most important priorities for the grantees.
Our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion was moderately satisfactory
Our program officers’ support for the program was satisfactory
Our communication was not adequate
Our eligibility criteria was clear
We are maintaining clarity and consistency of communication
The amount we are awarding should be increased
Our funding is flexible and easily accessible
Our grant does not cover most of the direct cost owing to the size of the grant
Micro-grant committee members are not getting the adequate support needed to carry out the activities of the committee
Micro-grant committee members are not adequately motivated
There is a need to have a dedicated staff member to oversee the grant process.

For more information about the evaluation of our microgrant, and Naija Office Hour, please see the link below.

9. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?

There are a few unexpected or surprising things that happened during the implementation of some of our projects.

Scope creep in our micro-grants: Our original plan was to only fund between 3 grant requests per month, but due to the influx of applications, we had to fund more than we had originally planned.
Scope creep in our oral history documentation project: we earlier planned to spend three weeks shooting, but we had to spend an extra two weeks because of bad weather and other logistics issues. This resulted in additional costs and delays in final production.
Technical difficulties: We experienced a few technical difficulties, including numerous participants getting affected by the global IP block.
Miscommunication: There was at least one case of miscommunication. A contest participant misunderstood our criteria and assumed she had won a writing contest. Following a discussion we had with the participants, it was clear that our criteria were drafted in a way that was ambiguous.
Unforeseen shortage of resources for some projects: The extra one week that was spent during the field work for our oral history documentation project resulted in a shortage of the resources allocated for that project.
Human Factors: Our Naija Office Hour program is managed by our program officer, Yinka Maja. However, she took maternity leave and resigned after putting the baby to bed. The resignation impacted the preparation for the November edition.

10. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?

We have used these lessons to improve our activities. Some of these learnings have helped us shape our operation. Below are some of the instances in which these lessons have been used to improve our future goals.

Wikimedia Nigeria strategic meeting

Naija Office Hour: Instead of having a single staff member manage this program, a working group has now been constituted to manage and oversee the Naija Office Hour. User:BMbambo (WMF) has also been appointed as an advisor on the program. A standard operating procedure is also being designed to support the program’s implementation.
Micro-Grant: From our learning, there is a need to get a program officer to support the committee reviewing the micro-grant applications. We have now hired a grant officer who will be in charge of managing the micro-grant. A small budget has also been allocated to support the reviewing committee.
Contingency plan: We have made plans to manage contingencies to support projects that suffer resource allocation constraints resulting from project creep.
Our learning shows that our communications were inadequate. We have used these learnings and feedback to design a communication plan that will help us effectively communicate and bridge any communication gaps among the core team and with people who are involved in our programs and activities.

11. If you were sitting with a friend to tell them one thing about your work during this fund, what would it be (think of inspiring or fascinating moments, tough challenges, interesting anecdotes, or anything that feels important to you)?

Wiki in School program in Nigeria

One inspiring thing about our activities in this round of funding is the micro-grant program. It’s thrilling to learn about its impact and how it has served as a model for other Wikimedia communities that are awarding grants to their members. It has also helped minimize the amount of grant requests to WMF from Nigeria. We are all proud of this program, and we are keen on sustaining it.

This program is important to us and the Wikimedia community in Nigeria as it has promoted equity, inclusion, and diversity in line with the Wikimedia Movement Strategy 2030. The program is one of our project highlights for the year. The maximum limit that an applicant can receive per request has now been increased.

12. Please share resources that would be useful to share with other Wikimedia organizations so that they can learn from, adapt or build upon your work. For instance, guides, training material, presentations, work processes, or any other material the team has created to document and transfer knowledge about your work and can be useful for others. Please share any specific resources that you are creating, adapting/contextualizing in ways that are unique to your context (i.e. training material).

N/A
N/A

17a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Formal training provided from outside the Wikimedia Movement, Peer to peer learning with other community members in conferences/events, Formal training provided by a Wikimedia Movement organizing group (i.e., Affiliates, Grantees, Regional or Thematic Hub, etc.)

17b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Lack of awareness of capacity building needs, Barriers to access training because of connectivity or equipment, Lack of knowledge of available capacity building opportunities

18. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your organizational capacity has grown, and areas where you require support?

In the past, our programs were entirely managed by volunteers, and by implication, we did not have the actual skills required to effectively implement certain programs, but this funding support has helped to hire people who have the required skills to manage specific tasks.

Now, we have adequate plans and the expertise needed to implement our programs, and our community leaders and other volunteers are adequately complementing the staff effort. This has helped our organization grow and become stronger. Although we need some other resources, such as office space, and we are glad that this was approved in our 2023–2024 annual plan,

We hope to continue to learn, document these learnings, and use them to build organizational capacity.

19. Partnerships over the funding period.

Over the fund period...
A. We built strategic partnerships with other institutions or groups that will help us grow in the medium term (3 year time frame)	Strongly agree
B. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to bring in more contributors from underrepresented groups	Strongly agree
C. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to build out more content on underrepresented topics/groups	Neither agree nor disagree

19a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Staff hired through the fund

19b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Lack of interest from partners, Difficulties specific to our context that hindered partnerships, Local policies or other legal factors

20. Please share your learning about strategies to build partnerships with other institutions and groups and any other learning about working with partners?

WUGN partnership meeting with NCMM

Partnership plan: Annually, we design our partnership plan for the year, and it is based on our proposed project. We identified the partnerships that are needed per project and contacted potential partners ahead of the project's implementation.
Communication: When we contact partners, we ensure to effectively communicate our vision to them and the scope of the project we want them to partner with us on, as well as the scope of the partnership. We continue to communicate with them, and build a rapport with them.
Benefit: We do highlight the benefits associated with the partnership, as we have identified that partners are often interested in what they would benefit from every partnership.

Part 5: Sense of belonging and collaboration edit

21. What would it mean for your organization to feel a sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement?

Joint donation of audiovisuals by the Wikimedia UG Nigeria and Yoruba Wikimedia UG

Collaboration opportunities: Wikimedia and the free knowledge movement provide opportunities for multidimensional collaboration. We have a sense of belonging when another Wikimedia affiliate collaborates with us. During the implementation of our programs this year, we collaborated with many Wikimedia affiliates, internationally and locally.
Shared vision and mission: It means that we share the mission and vision of the Wikimedia movement and we are actively contributing to achieve these shared mission and values.
Community engagement: The Wikimedia community is driven by a multilingual community of volunteers who share the same or similar vision. Belonging to the Wikimedia movement means that we can engage with these communities, share ideas, and learn from their work.

22. How has your (for individual grantees) or your group/organization’s (for organizational grantees) sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?

Increased significantly

23. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.

Our group’s sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement has increased significantly over the grant period, as we now have a strong collaboration relationship with other Wikimedia User Groups both locally and internationally. They participated in some of our activities, such as the Naija Office Hour, where we invited community leaders who work in or focus on languages.

This relationship has improved our credibility and visibility within and outside of the global Wikimedia movement. It has further promoted our organization.

24. How has your group/organization’s sense of personal investment in the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?

Increased significantly

25. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.

Our group’s sense of personal investment in the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement has significantly changed over the fund period. In the past, we did not feel that we were actually contributing enough to the Wikimedia movement because contributors and overall contributions from Nigeria were extremely low. This has improved over the past year.

In 2022, more than 1,000 people participated in our activities. This is the highest we have recorded since our recognition as a user group and would not have been possible without the grant support.

Our activities have been limited in the past due to inadequate funding, and this has created a sense that "we really don’t belong" to the movement. We are happy that the situation has increased significantly.

26. Are there other movements besides the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement that play a central role in your motivation to contribute to Wikimedia projects? (for example, Black Lives Matter, Feminist movement, Climate Justice, or other activism spaces) If so, please describe it below.

NA

Supporting Peer Learning and Collaboration edit

We are interested in better supporting peer learning and collaboration in the movement.

27. Have you shared these results with Wikimedia affiliates or community members?

Yes

27a. Please describe how you have already shared them. Would you like to do more sharing, and if so how?

We shared them via Wikimedia Diff, mailing list and WhatsApp group.

28. How often do you currently share what you have learned with other Wikimedia Foundation grantees, and learn from them?

We do this regularly (at least once a month)

29. How does your organization currently share mutual learning with other grantees?

We do publish our learning on meta-Wiki for other grantees to review and learn from, and where they have specific questions or clarifications about any of the programs or are experiencing challenges in implementing any of them in their community, we are available to provide support or additional information and clarity. For example, the documentation of our activities on Meta Wiki has helped other user groups to replicate our work. The Igbo Wikimedians User Group replicated our microgrant; the Igbo dance group and the Yoruba Wikimedians User Group replicated our audiovisual works (although with different themes).
