•  Strong support This project is a good initiative as it will not only increase the visibility of historical Northern sites but will as well serve as a means of bringing to limelight many important Northern heritages that are yet to be accessed and documented.

Not funded

Hello Aliyu shaba, 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:

• Lack of capacity: The applicant or the team did not show sufficient capacity and experience on and off Wikimedia projects to run the project. We recommend gaining more experience on Wikimedia projects as a contributor and trainer of proposed projects.
• Budget alignment and low impact: The proposed budget does not align with the described activities and overall project impact. Your application needs to have a reasonable budget that is aligned with your context. The project impact and scope should also be clearly described on the proposal.
