Improving the Wikimedia movement’s work with content partners

Governance bodies

Steering Committee

Main article: Content Partnerships Hub/Steering Committee

The Content Partnerships Hub Steering Committee is the strategic oversight body of the Content Partnerships Hub (CPH). Its role is to support the successful delivery of the Hub’s pilot programme, provide guidance to staff and volunteers, help shape the Hub’s structures and communication channels, and ensure that the programme develops in line with its grant commitments, strategic priorities, and long-term partnership goals.

Expert Committee

Main article: Content Partnerships Hub/Helpdesk/Expert Committee

The Expert Committee is the international advisory body that guides and prioritizes the work of the Content Partnerships Hub/Helpdesk. Its role is to review requests, help determine what kinds of initiatives should be prioritized, and provide strategic guidance on complex content partnership questions, including scope, quality, impact, and feasibility. In this way, the committee helps ensure that Helpdesk support is informed by diverse movement experience and that decisions on ongoing and incoming requests are made with a broader, community-oriented perspective.

Standing Working Group

Main article: Content Partnerships Hub/Helpdesk/Working Groups

The Standing Working Group is a smaller, regular coordination space within the Content Partnerships Hub Helpdesk that supports continuity and follow-up between Expert Committee meetings. Its role is to help review ongoing requests, identify practical next steps, raise operational questions, and maintain momentum on cases that require more sustained attention over time. In this way, the group complements the broader advisory role of the Expert Committee by providing a more agile space for coordination, early assessment, and day-to-day support to the Helpdesk process.

People and organisations

AvoinGLAM

AvoinGLAM is a working group based in Finland, promoting open access to cultural heritage. The group focuses on exploring the opportunities and barriers that small heritage communities or forms of heritage face on Wikimedia projects and online, and seek solutions to these challenges. To highlight this approach, we have interpreted the acronym GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) as Global Languages, Art & Memory. We promote co-creation through collaborative event such as cultural hackathons, and participate in global policy efforts.

Wiki in Africa

Wiki in Africa, a voluntary non-profit organisation registered in South Africa, is a financial and legal structure that operates global initiatives in support of the WikiAfrica movement. Wiki in Africa empowers and activates citizens of Africa, its diaspora, and other underrepresented populations to collect, develop and contribute content and perspectives under a free license and engage in global knowledge systems by encouraging access to, awareness of, and support for open knowledge, the open movement and the Wikimedia projects, working in collaboration with like-minded organisations. Our GLAM and content partnership projects include, among others, Wiki Loves Africa and Africa Environment.

Wikimedia Brasil

Wikimedia Brasil is the Brazilian chapter of the Wikimedia movement. For many years, the chapter has been engaged in initiatives to expand, diversify, and improve free knowledge, working with universities, cultural and scientific institutions, social organisations, and community groups across the country. In recent years, Wikimedia Brasil has increasingly strengthened collaborations with international partners, particularly in Lusophone contexts, and has contributed to advocacy, capacity building, and innovation in the global movement.

Wikimedia UK

Wikimedia UK is the UK chapter for the Wikimedia movement. The chapter has a long track record of working with content holders, particularly in the cultural heritage sector but also in areas such as health information and climate - this is across Wikimedia projects, with deep knowledge of working with Wikidata. We are particularly experienced in establishing Wikimedians in Residence, which act as change makers in world-leading institutions such as the Bodleian Library, British Library, University of Edinburgh, Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter and Wellcome Collection, among many others. Every year, there are well over a billion views of content released to Wikimedia through our partnerships.
