Taarifa ya utangulizi / muhtasari wa maombi. Sehemu hii itatafsiriwa. (Upeo wa maneno 150)	Nimetumikia kama mshauri, mwezeshaji, na kiongozi wa jumuiya na pia kutoa usaidizi wa kiufundi kwa jumuiya nyingi zisizo na uwakilishi wa Wikimedia na watu wa kujitolea hasa katika Afrika. Ninatazamia kutoa mkono wa usaidizi kwa jumuiya na wachangiaji wengine ambao hawajawakilishwa sana duniani kote. Kwa muda wa miezi michache iliyopita, lengo langu kuu limekuwa katika kuifanya miradi ya Wikimedia kuwa mahalia kati ya mengine ili kuchangia katika kutatua baadhi ya masuala yanayohusiana na uwakilishi mdogo duniani kote. Mojawapo ya malengo yangu ni kushirikiana na washirika wa Wikimedia na jumuiya nyingine ili kupata zana bora zaidi za kusaidia ujuzi huria kwa lugha nyingi katika miradi yote ya Wikimedia na kuchangia katika utatuzi wa masuala ya kimataifa ya Wikimedia. Kulingana na uzoefu wangu wa zamani katika sera ya umma, ninataka kuchangia katika utekelezaji wa sera ambazo zinaambatana na utekelezaji wa mkakati wa harakati na baraza la kimataifa kati ya mengine ili kuhakikisha kuwa kuna usawa kwa wote.
Michango kwa miradi ya Wikimedia, uanachama katika mashirika au washirika wa Wikimedia, shughuli kama mratibu wa harakati za Wikimedia, au ushiriki na shirika mshirika la Wikimedia. (Upeo wa maneno 100)	For contributions to Wikimedia projects, here are a few; Contributed to Wikiloop Double-Check as an Editor, Translator and an Artificial Intelligence Researcher in 2019. Facilitated and Co-organized the African Wikimedia Developers Project for 2019,2021 and 2022. Worked with Open Foundation West Africa as the Technical and Programs Officer whereby I co-organized events and projects by providing Technical Support to the Open Foundation West Africa and its community. Established a successful African technical community for the African Wikimedia Developers Project which is in the process of re-branding the project to be named the African Wikimedia Technical Community.
Utaalamu katika maeneo ya ujuzi yaliyotambuliwa kama mahitaji ya Bodi. Mkakati wa shirika na usimamizi Teknolojia ya jukwaa la kiwango cha biashara na/au ukuzaji wa bidhaa Sera ya umma na sheria Sayansi ya data ya kijamii, uchanganuzi mkubwa wa data, na kujifunza kwa mashine (Upeo wa maneno 150)	I do have the skills in monitoring and evaluation, organisational strategy, programs management, product and project management, data science, facilitation and mentoring, community development and management in my previous professional positions for these companies and communities respectively; AirtellTigo Ghana, Open Foundation West Africa, Azubi Africa, Zindi Africa, Upath Canada, Starters Technology and the African Wikimedia Technical Community. Where I worked as an Independent entrepreneur developer for AirtelTigo Ghana, Technical and Programs Officer for Open Found West Africa, Data Scientist for Azubi Africa, Country Ambassador for Zindi Africa, Product Manager for Upath Canada, STEM and STEAM facilitator and Community Lead for the African Wikimedia Technical Community. I have also been able to develop skills in public policy and the law whiles working for an outsourcing and recruitment company in Ghana called Elite Jobs Ghana as one of their Technical Recruitment Managers on a contractual basis.
Uzoefu wa kuishi ulimwenguni. Tunavutiwa sana kusoma kuhusu matukio ya maisha katika maeneo ya Afrika, Asia ya Kusini, Mashariki na Kusini Mashariki mwa Asia na Pasifiki, na Amerika ya Kusini na Visiwa vya Karibi. Tunaamini kuwa uzoefu katika maeneo haya unaweza kusaidia kupanua uwezo wa bodi wa kutimiza lengo la mkakati wa harakati la ushiriki wa usawa zaidi, ingawa tunatambua kuwa uzoefu mwingine unaweza pia kutoa michango muhimu. (Upeo wa maneno 250)	I am a Ghanaian Wikimedian, born, raised, working and currently living in Ghana in the African Region. One of my experiences is about "Open the Knowledge." For many years, foreign media and tourists have provided insufficient content about Africa to the world, which paints a negative picture of the African region. So far I have seen Wiki-in-Africa and some other African affiliates of the Wikimedia Foundation putting in some work with regards to the Open Knowledge initiative in order to raise awareness of the biases, under-representation, and inequities in our movement that continue to close Wikimedia projects to much of the world’s people and knowledge. I do have the motive of collaborating with African Wikimedians to change the narrative or perception when it comes to the African Continent as a whole.
Ufasaha wa kitamaduni na lugha pamoja na maeneo na lugha za ziada kwa eneo lako la asili na lugha. Uelewa wa kitamaduni husaidia kujenga madaraja katika jumuiya yetu ya tamaduni nyingi. (Upeo wa maneno 250)	I grew up learning multiple languages in school and in my local community due to the diverse people I stayed with and schooled with. I was able to learn how to read and write some languages such as Afrikaans, Asante Twi, Fanti, Akan, Akuapem Twi, English and some basic French and Spanish. I have worked on multiple contractual translation jobs remotely and voluntary. Some of the organisations I have done translations for are; RightsCon and the Ghana Bible Society. Aside from my external translation jobs, I have contributed massively when it comes to translating pages on Wikimedia projects, tools and other softwares. I am currently in the process of creating a translation tool to help contributors in Africa to translate Wikimedia Projects from English into their local languages specifically for Afrikaans, Twi, Akan, Ewe, Dagbani, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Swahili. One of my translation projects was for the Kiwix Andriod app on playstore. I am currently also collaborating with some Nigerian Wikimedians to come up with a tool and a Wikimedia Education Program to help the blind and visually impaired people to be able to read and contribute to Wikimedia Projects. Through my previous Wikimedia Projects and events, I have collaborated and worked with people from diverse backgrounds based on countries, ethnicities, religions and tribes to have successful events and projects. Which has contributed a lot to my life in terms of knowledge.
Uzoefu kama mtetezi wa kuunda nafasi salama na shirikishi kwa wote na/au uzoefu katika hali au miktadha ya udhibiti, ukandamizaji au mashambulizi mengine dhidi ya haki za binadamu. (Upeo wa maneno 250)	As a citizen of the global village, I am an advocate for human rights, specifically in the area of silent threats against the safety of journalists around the world with regard to freedom of expression and media development. In recent years, I have advocated with UNESCO to help protect the rights of journalists around the world and to provide safe spaces for them. Looking at the global and regional killings of journalists around the world from 2016 to 2020, the impunity of crimes against journalists and other attacks and threats, such as enforced disappearance, kidnapping, and arbitrary detention, is what motivates me to advocate for the human rights of journalists not only in Africa but the world at large.
Uzoefu kuhusiana na (au kama mwanachama wa, kwa kiwango unachochagua kushiriki) kikundi ambacho kimekabiliwa na ubaguzi wa kihistoria na uwakilishi mdogo katika miundo ya mamlaka (pamoja na lakini sio tu kwa tabaka, jamii, kabila, rangi, asili ya kitaifa, utaifa, utambulisho wa kijinsia, kujieleza jinsia, mwelekeo wa kijinsia, umri, dini, lugha, utamaduni, elimu, uwezo, mapato na mazingira). (Upeo wa maneno 250)	I do come from a smaller ethnic group in Ghana, which is underrepresented when it comes to power and influence. In terms of population, we are about 1.4% of the total population of Ghana. I would prefer not to share further details at the moment.
