Draft
Please review the notes below before submitting your report.
Your draft implementation plan document should address the following questions clearly:
- What movement strategy initiative or goal are you addressing?
- What activities will you be doing to address that initiative?
- What do you expect will happen as a result of your activities? How do those outcomes address the movement strategy initiative?
- How will you measure or evaluate your activities? What tools or methods will you use to evaluate your activities?
To create a draft implementation plan, we recommend the use of a logic model, which will help you and your team think about goals, activities, outcomes, and other factors in an organized way. Please refer the following resources to develop a logic model:
- Overview of logic models on Meta-wiki
- Example logic models for reference for other movement activities (such as partnerships and edit-a-thons)
- Blank logic model template on Google Drive

What Movement Strategy initiative is this draft plan supporting?
- Our draft plan was supporting Movement strategy recommendation Ensuring Equity in Decision-Making and more precisely it focused on MS initiative nr. 26 which is about Regional & thematic hubs. The project’s main focus was the implementation of activities which lead towards the building of the CEE Hub which is a regional Hub, and its focus is Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The CEE Hub was initiated to empower and to provide support structures that enable closer cooperation, capacity building and the transfer of knowledge between communities and individuals who work in the CEE region. CEE Hub is a sort of a back-office of the CEE, offering support in 3 fields:
- administrative,
- programmatic, and
- related to communications.
What activities have you completed to produce this draft plan?
- To provide support to the CEE communities in three areas which are the focus of the CEE Hub’s work i.e. to provide support in administrative, programmatic and communication area, the CEE Hub developed a wide range of activities in each of these three areas. In the table below you can find a detailed description of all activities we implemented as well as the explanation of concrete outcomes we achieved. Also, where possible we included links to Meta pages which show concrete examples of our work.

In which community channels have you announced your draft plan?
- We are in regular contact with communities and individuals from the CEE region thus affiliate representatives as well as all CEE community members were involved and participated in the process of creation of this grant. After we wrote the first draft of this grant proposal, during August 2023 we held two online meet-ups to present the Year 2 CEE Hub plan and to also collect feedback. During the CEE meeting which took place in Tbilisi in September 2023 we organised a workshop about CEE Hub Year 2 Plan with a goal to additionally explain planned activities and to collect valuable comments and ideas about the support that is expected and needed from the CEE Hub. Although we were able to collect some feedback during online sessions and meetings with CEE communities during July and August, it was the workshop that we organised in Tbilisi that proved to be a much more efficient method to receive both positive and negative feedback. The Tbilisi workshop was a resource of valuable comments and ideas which are now incorporated into this grant proposal.
