Project Background
edit- When do you intend to begin this project and when will it be completed?
- We aim to implement this project between April 10, 2024 - April 22, 2024 and have our financial reports ready 10 days after.
| ’Task' | Start date | End date |
| Online awareness and Outreach | March 25, 2024 | April 12, 2024 |
| 4 hours in-person meeting | April 12, 2024 | April 15, 2024 |
| Report writing to share Libyan community feedback on Meta and Diff | April 16, 2024 | April 22, 2024 |
We aim to begin this project on the specified dates. The timelines for this project are detailed above, but we will specifically carry out these activities;
- Online awareness and Outreach: the Libyan community is an emerging one. We believe it is important to inform new communities about the Movement Strategy and the efforts made for the future governance process in the Movement Charter. We will start by sharing the translated versions and the Arabic content on the movement charter. We will ask questions and provoke discussions to ease the in-person process.
We will advocate the community members to join Movement Charter consultations, communications and engagements that are happening in the region
- 4 hours in-person meeting: Our community members will be connected to the movement through in-person meetings. This will encourage our transparency. We will prepare a survey. We will have 1.5 hours to share the movement charter updates, and spend the remaining time to discuss and fill out the feedback survey.
- Report writing to share Libyan community feedback on Meta and Diff: We will draft an informative feedback from an emerging community perspective to support the MCDC drafting efforts.
- Where will your project activities be happening?
- In-person (offline): Our community members are available to meet in-person. People engage better this way, this will be a formal community meeting because members get more committed this way, so we will be renting space to hold these conversations, and will provide attendees with refreshments.
- Are you collaborating with other communities or affiliates on this project? Please provide details of how partners intend to work together to achieve the project goal.
- Coordinator: I will be the coordinator and responsible for the major activities of the project, including receiving the grants funds, writing the grants report, and coordinating between the other collaborators.
- Outreach and awareness: NANöR will lead this since. She engaged in the movement strategy process since its global conversations, and founded the Arabic Window to MS initiative to advocate for the movement strategy and its charter.
- What specific challenge will your project be aiming to solve? And what opportunities do you plan to take advantage of to solve the problem?
- The specific challenge that our project aims to achieve is the definition, accessibility, and understanding of the charter chapter within the Libyan community, and we plan to hold discussions with the community to ensure clarity and familiarity with the content of the charter and to analyze the feedback received from them to gain valuable insights.
- Emerging communities usually take time to start on governance issues. We want our community to be more related to the movement and its current trends.
- Does this project aim to apply one of the examples shared in the call for grants and if so which one?

Outcomes
editAfter your activities are complete, we would like to understand the draft implementation plan for your community. You will be required to prepare a document detailing this plan around a movement strategy initiative. This report can be prepared through Meta-wiki using the Share your results button on this page. The report can be prepared in your language, and is not required to be written in English.
In this report, you will be asked to:
- Provide a link to the draft implementation plan document or Wikimedia page
- Describe what activities supported the development of the plan
- Describe how and where you have communicated your plan to relevant communities.
- Report on how your funding was spent
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
Please confirm below that you will be able to prepare a draft implementation plan document by the end of your grant:
