Goals edit

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went? Introduce Wiki Loves Africa project to existing and new contributors of wikimedia Commons, and share all about Wiki Loves Africa and its purpose.

  • We organized several workshops both online and face-to-face during which we talked a lot about wikipedia and wikimedia commons.

Recruit loyal contributors (professional photographers and non professional) to Commons, wikipedia and its sister projects.

  • We have joined us with several people who are passionate about photography and who have created accounts on wikipedia

Engage existing contributors and encourage them to continue contributing even when the contest is over.

  • We are happy to inform you that among all the participants about ten will become regular contributors. We say this based on their work throughout this project

Outcome edit

Please report on your original project targets. Please be sure to review and provide metrics required for Rapid Grants.


Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation
Number of participants : 10 13 (130%) In order to manage this project we have created a whatsapp group that interested people should join. We thus had 36 members, including 13 people who created Wikipedia accounts and participated in the project's activities.
Number of photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons : 400+ 417 (104%) The mobilization for the taking of photos was difficult. This for several reasons. First it was very difficult to organize a photo outing because the people were always unavailable. Then the population is reluctant to take photos. This is due to the fact that the Togolese State has introduced the tax on housing and the population does not accept it yet. So the taking of photos is interpreted as an investigation of real estate with a view to taxation. Despite all of this, we achieved our goal.
Number of photos used on Wikimedia projects : 15+ Nothing participants don't have computer to edit some articles


Learning edit

  • What worked well?

Community mobilization around the project, training and photo upload sessions went well. The support of Wikmedia community benin was very useful for us during the project.

  • What did not work so well?

Mainly reluctance of the population to take photos of their buildings It was also difficult to illustrate the articles because some of the participants don’t have a computer.

  • What would you do differently next time?

Next time we will try to have an authorization from the municipality before starting the campaign. We will also communicate more around the contest and try to acquire computers to support illustration sessions.
