Not funded

Hello Abubakar Yusuf Gusau, 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.
• Not located in the same region: The applicant and team are not located in the same region where activities are planned to take place. Given the capacity of the team and details of activities, we think that there are considerable concerns regarding the sustainability of the project. It is unclear for instance, how the applicant plans on following up and supporting participants of the proposed project beyond initial contact.
• Budget alignment: 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.
