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? All the project's targets were achieved
  • What did not work so well? There is a gender gap in participation that I have identified overtime. More men volunteers tend to participate in the events than the women.
  • What would you do differently next time? I am working on scaling two women who have experience with the Wikimedia movement so as they could run events that are gender specific to call for a greater women participation in Arusha and Tanzania at large.
