Part 1: Understanding your work
[edit]Per the recent update on the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy process, Wikimedia Affiliates that are General Support Fund grantees will fulfill their affiliate reporting requirements through their final or yearly grantee report.
If you are a Wikimedia Affiliate, you will use this form for your affiliate reporting and to address the affiliate health criteria. You do not need to submit a separate report to AffCom. Follow the guidance in the green boxes to report on how you met the corresponding affiliate health criteria.
If you are not a Wikimedia Affiliate, aligning your responses with the affiliate criteria is optional and not required.
1. Please share to what extent your programs, approaches, and strategies contributed to addressing the challenges you shared in your proposal. If they did not contribute as you believed they would, please share what obstacles you faced and what, if anything, you learned from them? (required)
For affiliates, use this space (Question 1.) to address Affiliate Health Criterion 1.1 (Goal delivery). Describe how you actively delivered on mission goals, e.g. content creation.
In 2025, we were able to address community growth and health better than the previous year by doing more outreach programs in towns and cities where Wikipedia has very little presence or recognition. With more areas covered, like Zamboanga, Davao, Iligan City, Cordillera, Cebu and Tarlac, we were able to reach more people, introduce Wikipedia projects to them and received multiple requests for establishing Wikiclubs in various parts of the Philippines. There were new partners enrolled and local governments becoming strategic partners providing local content such as cultural and tourism data, local manuscripts, orthographies.
2. Is there a plan to build on the key successes you had? If yes, please describe the plan and if no, please share the limitations to do so. For instance, did the activities lead to any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future? (required)
There is a plan to build on those successes. In fact as early as January of 2026, partners have already set in motion our plans to collaborate with them. Our signature Local Laws Digitization project has been appreciated by 5 local government units and we get invites to work with them in digitizing their own laws too. However, we cannot push it through because of limited funding. Our success was borne out of looking to solve our challenges. At any given workday, it is quite hard to invite people to attend Wikipedia editing workshops. They have classes, they need permits to skip school, they have work, they have kids, they have all the reason in the world. So we thought of being creative and launch a new priority - Wikinights. It is a Wiki After sunset project. Wikipedia editing, mentoring and cross-city collaboration at night. One city at a time. It is scalable, cost-effective, inviting, inclusive and relationship building. We launched it in 3 cities and the results are conservative but promising. Conservative because we just limited the attendees. Promising because more cities want to do their own too.
3. Please provide a link to reports that detail the activities that took place in the last year. This can include an annual report, Meta pages, and websites. If there are no links available, briefly describe the implemented activities and programs below or upload any files. (required)
For affiliates, use this space (Question 3.) to address Affiliate Health Criteria 2.1 (Affiliate health & resilience), 4.1 (Internal engagement), 4.2 (Community connection), and 4.3 (Partnerships and collaboration):
- Describe your activities engaging new users, new members for your decision-making body(ies), and developing leaders and organizers (2.1).
- Describe your activities creating or hosting spaces to encourage greater collaboration and engagement among your members (4.1).
- Describe how you engage with the contributing community that you serve and/or support (4.2).
- Describe your partnerships with other affiliates or with non-Wikimedia entities (4.3).
In engaging new users, we assess their individual interests during an event. We do one on one interviews, we classify them according to affiliations, interests in Wikiprojects, time schedules and location. Then we group them accordingly. We realize small groups are more productive and efficient than gathering bigger groups and then atrophy happens. We nurture those that stick and continue to grow gradually but building more meaningful projects and activities.
We spend time on discovering what works and we are fast in dismissing what does not. We would rather explore more areas than babysit in our territory.
When we launched Wikinights, we knew that given more resources, this initiative will grow. There are rarely people documenting their cities at night. Safely and more unique.
4. Are you interested in sharing what you achieved or learned this year with the wider community through different peer learning programs (e.g. Let's Connect program, Diff)? (optional)
Yes we are. We are actually sharing it on Diff. Not yet on Let's Connect but we want to.
5. Did you collect feedback from your community or target groups on how the activities implemented impacted them? If yes, please attach/provide information on the results (e.g. community surveys, stories, impact booklets/reports, interviews with partner institutions, etc). Did you collect other impact-specific data? (required)
For affiliates, the response to Question 5. also partially addresses Affiliate Health Criteria 4.1 (Internal Engagement), 4.2 (Community Connection), or 4.3 (Partnerships & collaboration), where applicable.

Part 3: Skill Development / Capacity Building
[edit]12. Reflecting on your programmatic (external) and organizational (internal) work, did your grant support you to undergo any skill development that made a difference to your success? If yes, what skill was developed, and how did it lead to success? (e.g. received coaching on public speaking, attended training on nonviolent communication, hosted professional development conversations on leadership, learned and used a new tool for project management, etc.)? Can you share any materials? (required)
For affiliates, use this space (Question 12.) to address Affiliate Health Criteria 2.2 (Diversity balance) and 3.1 (Diverse, Skilled, and Accountable Leadership):
- Describe actions taken to prioritize gender balance in affiliate leadership, as well as any areas of diversity relevant to your affiliate's context (2.2).
- Describe the management, financial, or other leadership skills of your affiliate leaders. If you have a succession plan, please include it here (3.1).
- Describe any training or skill development (as outlined in the question above) (3.1).
- Incorporate into the annual report a disclosure of conflict of interests (if any) from the leadership (3.1).
Yes, capacity development training and Training of Trainers for Wikiclubs Zamboanga and Cebu. We also conducted Community organizers training for Wikiwomen
13. What is one capacity/skill area that you would like to focus on for the next year? And how do you plan to achieve this capacity? (required)
Training of Trainers (ToT) with integrated Community Organizing (CO) skills. This has been proven to be the most effective skill sharing we have for SKAP. Every city or province requesting for the establishment of a Wikiclub will have to undergo ToT with CO. Two days of trainings and workshop is necessary. Another skill is documentation. We intend to train documenters in 2026 to overcome our lack of regular documenters. We intend to convert our weakness into strength so we can be more visible to our audiences.
14. If you have additional information or reflections that don’t fit into the above sections, please write them here. Use the space below to upload any additional documents that would be useful to understand your report.
For affiliates, also use this section (Question 14) to fulfill the Affiliate Health Criteria requirements.
