Not funded

Hello obawinner,

Thank you for submitting your grant application. We appreciate your interest in contributing to the mission of the Wikimedia Movement. We are continuously strengthening our grants review process, ensuring that grant funding is being invested towards impactful projects and efforts geared towards contributing to the mission of Wikimedia Movement in the most efficient and effective manner.

After a thorough review of your application, we have decided to not fund your Rapid Fund request. Here are the main reasons for our decision:

• We think that the requested budget is not aligned with the desired impact. Additionally, the requested budget does not seem to be well adjusted with the proposed activities. We recommend considering Wikimedia Nigeria UG microfunding to support the project.
• We think that the proposed impact cannot be achieved by two in-person training sessions with 60 participants in each.
• The activity plan is unclear.
• Team's experience in terms of documentation, digitization, and licenses is not present. Some team members don't have the described relevant experience on Wikimedia projects. One team member is blocked on Wikidata.
