The project is to get members of our community Wiki For Senior Citizens Network to fully understand and appreciate movement charter and the need for every member to contribute in the movement. It will also enable our community members to discuss the newly released movement charter on Hub and Global Council and provide feedback. This project contributes to the advancement of Movement Charter Initiative 24.

24. Movement Charter: we want to ensure that our community members understand the idea behind the movement strategy and are fully engaged in conversations about the governance of the movement
Project Background edit
- When do you intend to begin this project and when will it be completed?
We hope to carry out this project between September 9, 2023 and October 28, 2023. Our reports will be ready 30 days after
- Where will your project activities be happening?
Hybrid. Our community members always prefer in person events. However, members of our community are staying in different towns in Nigeria which are far from each other. We will therefore have one physical and one online event to reach all our members. We aim to ensure that everyone is truly included
- 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.

- What specific challenge will your project be aiming to solve? And what opportunities do you plan to take advantage of to solve the problem?
Our community the Wiki For Senior Citizens Network is a young one. Many members do not understand what movement strategy is. Many new members are having their first contact with Wikipedia. This project will be an opportunity for our community to appreciate the value of movement strategy and movement charter and how each person’s contribution adds up to decision making process in the movement and generally improve what we do. Members will also discuss the new Movement Charter drafts on Hubs and Global Council and provide feedbacks.

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:
- Overview of logic models on Meta-wiki
- Example logic models for reference for other movement activities (such as partnerships and edit-a-thons)
