Goals edit
Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
- The goal of Wiki-agripo 2.0 was to add content on more than 500 villages of Cameroon’s Far North on Wikipedia by more than 10 contributors. Overall, we are happy with the project because 12 contributors shared more than 416 articles related to Far-North Cameroon (progress of more than 274%). The participants have continued to add articles on villages of Far-North Cameroon since the project ended.
- The villages of Far North are listed in the [Category of the villages of the Cameroon Far North]

Learning edit
Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
- We mobilise 71 interested participants on our volunteerism mechanism -- people were motivated to write articles on villages of Far North Cameroon. However only 12 new editors (less than 17%) succeed to publish articles online
- Overall quality of the Cameroon portal continues to be improved. The Cameroon portal has 7528 articles now and it remain the second portal in Africa, after Algeria (but now with less than 2000 articles of difference).
- What didn't work?
- Finding free-use information on rural area like villages is complicated. Therefore, participants had to collect available information to maintain dynamic. It remains a more difficult task for beginners.
- What would you do differently next time?
- This new project was difficult due to technical limit (old computer) with less productivity due to necessity to make frequent repair. However, this experience helps us to develop a new team of engaged contributors. This proven strategy is effective and productive and we will continue to invest in a progressive turn-over of small team of engaged contributors to consolidate impact and results.
