We also want to emphasize recognition and rewards for contributors, mentorship, and community building.

The challenges SKAP seeks to address are diverse and include the need for increased access to education, preservation of cultural heritage, promotion of media literacy and news credibility, and the digitization of local laws and ordinances for transparency and accessibility. The strategies support these objectives by tailoring events to the specific needs of communities and institutions, fostering partnerships to enrich educational initiatives, and empowering contributors through mentorship and recognition.

The Digitization of Local Laws and Ordinances Project is on its phase 2. The first one being funded by a rapid grant. It aims to build a repository of municipal laws in the Philippines to benefit the citizens, law enforcement, judiciary, legislature, academe, including tourists and visitors whether domestic or foreign to know about local laws about health, environment, public safety, public policy and other customs in the places they wish to visit. Concurrently, we have uploaded in Wikisource 800+ local laws from 32 towns and 2 states or provinces. We also uploaded 2500+ images in WikiCommons pertaining to said laws. We wish to scale the project to cover more states in the three major island of the Philippines namely Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. So we need the funds to help us realize this and hopefully use this template in other countries in Asia and other parts of the globe.
