Le changement que nous cherchons à apporter avec la campagne 1Lib1Ref 2025 au Togo est d'améliorer la qualité et la crédibilité des informations disponibles sur Wikipédia, tout en augmentant la visibilité des connaissances liées au Togo. Les principaux défis que nous tentons de résoudre incluent le manque de sources fiables dans de nombreux articles, ce qui affecte la vérifiabilité et la confiance accordée aux informations partagées sur la plateforme. Un autre problème majeur est la sous-représentation du contenu spécifique au Togo, notamment sur des sujets comme l’histoire, la culture et le patrimoine du pays, qui sont souvent peu ou mal documentés. Enfin, nous constatons un manque de collaboration entre les bibliothèques locales et les projets Wikimedia, ce qui limite l'accès à des ressources pertinentes pour améliorer les articles. Pour relever ces défis, nous organiserons 2 ateliers de formation et 2 éditathons à destination des bibliothécaires et des contributeurs locaux, afin de leur apprendre à identifier et ajouter des références fiables sur Wikipédia. Nous développerons également des partenariats avec des institutions culturelles et des experts togolais pour enrichir les articles sur le Togo, tout en sensibilisant la communauté à l’importance de la contribution collective au savoir libre.
