Not funded

Hello Jwale2, thanks for submitting this Rapid Fund request. After reviewing your grant proposal, we have decided not to fund it at this time. Our decision is based on a review of the following factors:

• Financial reporting of the previous grant: A review of the financial reporting and expense reports associated with the previous Rapid Fund awarded to you.
• Budget alignment: An evaluation of the current proposal's budget request and its alignment with the desired outcomes outlined in the application.
• Programmatic alignment: Consideration of the outcomes achieved in your past Rapid Fund and desired outcomes outlined in this grant, along with the recommendations provided by the Program Officers.

• Financial reporting of the previous grant: I will be working on the financial report using an updated spreadsheet and I will provide the necessary details that is required.
• Budget alignment: I just released that there were some errors in the budget, so I am working on the budget to align it with desired outcome.
• Programmatic alignment:Wiki Update is a growing open podcast community, outcomes achieved from previous projects might vary, either an increase or decrease in our audience listenership or engagement despite partnership. But our focus is not only telling community stories and offering voice training (Wiki skills) to listeners, but also engaging in various projects with partners like OFWA, WIki-Green, AFLIA through skill training and capacity development of their community which could be on-wiki or off-wiki.
