Partnerships with international organisations

The Thematic hub is investing more resources in developing high value content partnerships with intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), such as UN agencies, as well as international non-governmental organizations (INGOs). These organizations have an enormous amount of high impact knowledge and content from all across the world, in many languages and valuable expertise – that so far has been underutilized in the Wikimedia movement as these partnerships do not fit neatly into traditional responsibilities.

Collaborate with us

We want to cooperate globally with Wikimedia organisations and individuals to develop and support partnerships with with international organisations and their local offices. this includes international initiatives, such as WikiGap. Having formal partnerships supports other Wikimedia organizations and community members to work with the organization. We are exploring how the movement can work together with international organisations. The success of partnerships depends on connections, trust and the success of collaborations e.g how widely content is being used across Wikimedia platforms.

There are many kinds of work that can be done with international organisations. If you work for an organization and are interested in sharing your content on Wikipedia we would love to hear from you partnershipswikimedia.se.

Our current work

Through our work in the last years we have numerous opportunities for partnerships with UN agencies and other IGOs and are continuing to scale these efforts to bring more content to the Wikimedia platforms. We are focussing on content partnerships around health, gender and different emergencies.
