Event:WikiForHumanRights 2025 in Nigeria/Gombe
Description
[edit]In this year's campaign, we aim to bring increased awareness and documentation of how climate change impacts the right to food in Gombe State, particularly in drought-prone Local Government Areas (LGAs) such as Dukku, Funakaye, Nafada, and Kaltungo. These communities are experiencing worsening food insecurity driven by erratic rainfall, prolonged dry spells, declining agricultural productivity, and inadequate food storage infrastructure - all exacerbated by the effects of climate change. Despite these realities, there is a significant knowledge gap on open platforms like Wikipedia regarding how local communities in the Northeast of Nigeria are affected and how they are responding. The problem we are addressing is twofold: First, the lived experiences of farmers and residents in Gombe’s rural areas are largely missing from global knowledge resources, which limits public awareness and policy engagement around food rights and climate resilience in the region. Second, there is a lack of digital and Wikimedia literacy among local youth, educators, and civil society actors who could help document and amplify these stories through Wikipedia and its sister projects. We aim to address these challenges by organizing a climate-justice-themed campaign that combines community sensitization, expert engagement, and capacity building. Participants will be trained on how to research and contribute to Wikimedia projects - particularly Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons - with content that reflects the intersection of food rights, drought, and environmental vulnerability in Gombe. We will engage local academics, journalists, agricultural officers, and community leaders to provide insights and data, while encouraging youth and new editors to publish articles, improve existing entries, and share visual media related to food security in the region.
