Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content gaps will you be filling with the equipment? This equipment will help us to produce contents, informative documents and media related to African Women, Music and Dance.
2. What activities will you organize in the next 6 months to create content and use it on Wikimedia projects? We will organize 1 semi-editathon per week, and 3 photo-walks during the next Wiki Loves Africa contest. These activities are funded separately.
3. How will the equipment be shared/tracked/cared for by members of your community? The equipment monitoring will be carried out by the General Secretary and the Chairperson using a record-keeping sheet. The two computers will be made available to Wikimedians who have no computer during editathons. The camera will be handled to the shooting operations organized by Wikimedians and professional photographers. Members of the User Group will be able to use it during activities related to the User Group missions. To that purpose, a formal request, which includes the objectives aimed and the operating period, will be required from the member. The equipment will be kept at the Headquarter of the User Group, in Abidjan.
4. How long will the equipment be used, and by whom? We expect the camera equipment to be used for at least the next 5 years by members of the User Group. 2 years for the computers.
5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
