Please provide the following information about your proposed activity:

Planned activity
(Please give an outline of what your idea is about.Who are your audience? What gap are you filling? What do you intend to achieve?)
- My idea is to embark on a pictorial content collection around Eastern Uganda, mainly for monuments, tourist/Historical sites, and the likes - My target audience is everyone who would want to pick and use pictures off the commons - My having high-quality images collected/taken and uploaded to commons am addressing the gap of missing pictures of some monuments, and sites on commons as well create awareness of these monuments and sites to the rest of the world out there

People involved
(e.g. Will you be working alone or with a team? Who are they and what are their responsibilities?You can give their username(s)):

I will mainly be alone and seek help from a few friends where necessary

Which Wikimedia Projects will you be contributing to?
(e.g. English Wikipedia, Wikidata , Commons etc):' Commons'

- Commons

How will you conduct your activity(s)
(e.g. How long will this take? Will engagements be virtual or in-person? What kind of events will you host? How many?): - I Expect to embark on and execute this assignment over a period of 3 months(12 weeks). For this period, I will travel to the different site locations, shoot the pictures and then have some time to do some editing on them before uploading them to commons.

Please explain what influence your activity will have on Wikimedia Projects
(e.g. Quantitative: number of new pictures uploaded to Commons, Number of new articles created/improved on Wikipedia/ Number of items created/improved on Wikidata ; Qualitative: skill the community of volunteers in Uganda ):

-I believe high-quality photos of the different monuments and sites uploaded to commons will not only help in making available the photos when needed for use by anyone but also will create awareness on the monuments and the sites in terms of different people visiting them
