Project Goal edit

What will be the outputs of your project and how will those outputs contribute to advancing a specific Movement Strategy Initiative

What specific Movement Strategy Initiative does your project focus on and why? Please select one of the initiatives described here
We shall focus on EQUITY, (i.e. 4. 4. Ensure Equity in Decision-Making, which contains items 24-28).

Project Background edit

When do you intend to begin this project and when will it be completed?
This project shall commence immediately, with December 18, 2022 as its targeted conclusion.
Where will your project activities be happening?
The project itself will be brought to two (2) LANGUAGE communities, namely Bicolano and Tagalog in this phase. It will be described as the Foundation's initiative to bring EQUITY in decision-making to the community stakeholders, whereby reflection and feedback will be essential.
Are you collaborating with other communities or affiliates on this project? Please provide details of how partners intend to work together to achieve the project goal.
For the scope of this fast-track project phase, the most effective channels shall be discussion groups already existing; specific to the respective communities.
What specific challenge will your project be aiming to solve? And what opportunities do you plan to take advantage of to solve the problem?
As we realistically view the time constraints involved, it is deemed best to go directly to the movers and shakers of the communities. Some doors will be open (receptive) and some doors will remain closed (hesitative). But this should not deter us.
Does this project aim to apply one of the examples shared in the call for grants and if so which one?
This grant is set to align with the MC Ambassadors Grant Program.

Project Activities edit

What specific activities will be carried out during this project? Please describe the specific activities that will be carried out during this project.
As our Philippine archipelago thrives with Wiki communities across islands and provinces: communication is key, not simply across virtual channels, but in face-to-face meetings of warm bodies. For this phase, we shall reach out to the closest accessible communities, namely Bicolano and Tagalog.

How do you intend to keep communities updated on the progress and outcomes of the project? Please add the names or usernames of these individuals responsible for updating the community
Efforts to converge Wiki communities in the Philippines have been in rotation at length. As a past president (2014-2015) of the the former Wikimedia Philippines, then as outgoing president (2022-2023) of the Philippine Wikimedia Community UG (Naga City), and as founding Head (2022) of the new PH-WC Manila, it is in the best interest of our country's Wiki communities to bring them to the front of the Wikimedia Movement. I am also an admin of the aforementioned Philippine Wikimedia Kapihan (present membership: 590). As such, I am in a qualified position to follow through on updating these communities. We should follow through on the full ambassadorial role and scope in the succeeding phases of this program, as follows:

1. Bicolano https://bcl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panginot_na_Pahina
2. Cebuano https://ceb.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unang_Panid
3. Chavacano https://cbk-zam.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Primero_Pagina
4. Ilocano https://ilo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umuna_a_Panid
5. Kapampangan https://pam.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pun_Bulung
6. Pangasinan https://pag.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arapan_ya_Bolong
7. Tagalog https://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unang_Pahina
8. Waray https://war.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syahan_nga_Pakli
PHILIPPINES: Tambayan Philippines

Who will be responsible for delivering on this project and what are their roles and responsibilities?
This proponent shall take full responsibility for the processes and deliverables of this proposed ambassadorship.

Additional information edit

If your activities include community discussions, what is your plan for ensuring that the conversations are productive? Provide a link to a Friendly Space Policy or UCoC that will be implemented to support these discussions.
The Friendly Space policy and uCoC shall be adhered to.
If your activities include the use of paid online tools, please describe what tools these are and how you intend to use them.
The communications channels are cost-free.
Do your activities include the translation of materials, and if so, in what languages will the translation be done? Please include details of those responsible for making the translations.
Although English is widely understood, a digest of the materials should be ported to the pertinent languages.
Are there any other details you would like to share? Consider providing rationale, research or community discussion outputs, and any other similar information, that will give more context on your proposed project.
It is utmost that we remain looped with the draft implementation plan.

Outcomes edit

After your activities are complete, we would like to understand the draft implementation plan for your community. You will be required to prepare a document detailing this plan around a movement strategy initiative. This report can be prepared through Meta-wiki using the Share your results button on this page. The report can be prepared in your language, and is not required to be written in English.

In this report, you will be asked to:

  • Provide a link to the draft implementation plan document or Wikimedia page
  • Describe what activities supported the development of the plan
  • Describe how and where you have communicated your plan to relevant communities.
  • Report on how your funding was spent

Your draft implementation plan document should address the following questions clearly:

  • What movement strategy initiative or goal are you addressing?
  • What activities will you be doing to address that initiative?
  • What do you expect will happen as a result of your activities? How do those outcomes address the movement strategy initiative?
  • How will you measure or evaluate your activities? What tools or methods will you use to evaluate your activities?

To create a draft implementation plan, we recommend the use of a logic model, which will help you and your team think about goals, activities, outcomes, and other factors in an organized way. Please refer the following resources to develop a logic model:

Please confirm below that you will be able to prepare a draft implementation plan document by the end of your grant:

  • I agree.

Optionally, you are welcome to include other information you'd like to share around participation and representation in your activities. Please include any additional outcomes you would like to report on below:
