Goals

edit

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went? The goals were overmet; details below. Our partners expressed satisfaction from being able to discover Moldova through its protected areas, and help Wikipedia by these means.

Outcome

edit

Please report on your original project targets.


Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation
at least 450 photos uploaded 495
at least 30 protected areas illustrated 36 33 of them didn't have any images beforehand
at least one image per each Wikidata item and Wikipedia article done
random pictures of settlement and places on the road 87
around 40% increase of number of participants (up from 62) 29 this is the only target not met; it happened because the contest perhaps reached its saturation in Moldova. More analysis will be done in Grants:Project/Rapid/Gikü/Wiki Loves Earth 2018 in Moldova/Report


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?
    • Both teams benefited from free accommodation from relatives while on the road, thus nobody had to spend time and energy to return to Chișinău for the night
  • What did not work so well?
    • Some areas, particularly geological natural monuments, proved very hard to reach (or at least too time-consuming for our time frame), and we only got low quality photos of them
  • What would you do differently next time?
    • This most likely was the last time Wiki Loves Earth was organized in Moldova. Almost half of the protected areas have been illustrated, and the remaining ones are hard to reach and/or not as important (also the majority of them are secular trees usually located far in the woods). Thank you a lot for support!

Finances

edit

Grant funds spent

edit

Please describe how much grant money you spent for approved expenses, and tell us what you spent it on. All expenses below are documented in Moldovan Lei (MDL).

  • Team North (planned 1,600)
    • petroleum: 578.65
    • food: 1,389.61
      • Saturday breakfast (on the road): 61.21
      • Saturday lunch (Otaci): 250.00
      • Saturday dinner (Edineț): 350.00
      • Sunday breakfast (Zăbriceni): 194.40
      • Sunday lunch (Bălți): 534.00
  • Team South (planned 2,000)
    • gas: 1,509.24
    • food: 463.11
  • powerbanks as prizes (planned 160): 206.00

Thus, Team South's expenses were within the budget, while Team North exceeded the budget by almost 400 MDL. This is because 2 more people joined us on the road, because of unexpected family issues. These 400 MDL were covered by us and there is no need for reimbursement.

To put it shortly: the expenses awaiting reimbursement are the same as the planned budget.

Do you have any remaining grant funds?
