Project Plan

Activities

1. What community or communities will be involved in this movement strategy discussion(s)?

   Yes. As verbally discussed with the Wikimedians of DRC-UG board one week ago, the committee found that it is a high priority to organize as many as possible office hours so that the Congolese people can better understand the Movement Strategy. It will be noticed that we've already organized three strategy salons (2019 and 2020).
   We will be working with different groups of the population: librarians, university students, an association of women (all local discussion in Kisangani), and one national discussion for everyone in the country.
   After the event, the translators will work to translate the resulting documentation from the meetings.

2. How will you make sure everyone is invited?

   Having organized so many movement strategy salons, we have lists of participants with phone numbers and emails. Apart from that, we have a mailing list for the User group, WhatsApp group, and Facebook page.

3. How will you document community discussion(s) and feedback related to movement strategy? Who will be responsible for documenting these discussions?

   Yves Sefu is responsible for the documentation. He has lead many movement strategy discussions/salons. He's attended the East African Strategy Movement discussion in 2019 and he has a good understanding of the strategy project so it will be easy for him to get feedback related to the movement strategy.

4. What is your facilitation plan to support productive discussions around movement strategy? Please also provide a link to a Friendly Space Policy that will be implemented to support these discussions.

   As we are preparing a series of office hours, we are expecting to have community leaders from other Wikimedia movement to open the meetings. We are expecting to have Benoit (Wikimedia Canada), Adelaide (WikiFranca), and Remy (WMFr). They will be on the ground to answer questions from the audience. I'll be serving as a facilitator. I've organized and prepared the many salons we have done. I will present the strategy recommendations and explain the recommendations to the audience.

   We will use the Wikimedia Foundation Friendly Space Policy https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy

5. If you are requesting funding for online tools or services to support participation, please describe these services and how they will be used. If not, please write N/A.

6. If you are translating movement strategy materials, in what languages will you be supporting translation? Who will be responsible for doing the translations? If not, please write N/A.

We will have live interpretation during the meeting in the following languages. We will also have the documentations translated to the same languages listed below.

• English - Abel Mbula
• Lingala - Marie
• Kiswahili - Yves
