- By: Darafsh
We held the General Assembly of the Tajik Wikimedians User Group, where Darafsh presented a two-year activity report to 16 members. Zolfeqar Fatihzadeh and Зинҳор Насрӣ were elected as the new Contact Persons for a 24-month term.
We successfully held the General Assembly of the Tajik Wikimedians User Group. During the meeting, a report on the group's activities over the past two years was presented by Darafsh to the 16 members in attendance. We also discussed challenges, with the main issue being the shortage of active volunteers to support the group's work. Afterward, through a vote, Zolfeqar Fatihzadeh and Зинҳор Насрӣ were elected as the new Contact Persons for a 24-month term.
As outcomes, we strengthened the organizational structure of the User Group, ensured leadership continuity and community trust through transparent elections, and increased member engagement by addressing challenges openly.
Regarding achieved metrics, the assembly gathered 16 participants, elected 2 Contact Persons for a two-year term, and successfully completed 1 General Assembly.

One of the main lessons we learned during the project was the importance of early and consistent community engagement. Although we successfully held the General Assembly and elected new Contact Persons, we faced challenges related to the low number of active volunteers. This shortage made organizing tasks and maintaining momentum more difficult than expected. It showed us that in small communities like ours, building and retaining a strong base of committed contributors must be a continuous priority. |
