CDP Goals and Outcomes

[edit]
Annual Plan FY18-19 topline goals  X  #1) Knowledge Equity - grow new contributors and content

How does your program affect the annual plan topline goal:

To realize a world where all people can contribute to Wikimedia projects, our volunteer communities must have the resources, both technical and social, to maintain healthy contributing environments. Reducing and mitigating harassment is a key factor in creating and maintaining welcoming and collaborative places that will attract new contributors and encourage them to offer new content from different perspectives. The Community Health Initiative will help realize this goal through tool development, research, legal support, and community support.

Program Goal Wikimedia communities are healthy online spaces for people of diverse backgrounds with strong tools and policies to mitigate harassment.
Outcome 1 Contributors and administrators will be able to make timely, informed decisions when harassment occurs.
Outcome 2   Communities will be able to develop good processes and policies for dealing with harassment and related problems on their projects.
Outcome 3 Targets of harassment will have better information and support from the Foundation appropriate to their situation.
