Part 1 Understanding your work[edit]
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented.
The Igbo Wikimedians User Group (IWUG) implemented its proposed activities and strategies in 2023 through a multi-pronged approach focused on:
1. Content creation and capacity building:
i. Learning Webinars: we regularly conducted informative webinars to equip members with knowledge about various aspects of Wikimedia projects, including editing tools, content creation techniques, and community guidelines. ii. Edit-a-thons/Translate-a-thons: we organized and participated in numerous edit-a-thons and translate-a-thons focused on creating and enhancing Igbo-related content on Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikisource, and other platforms. These events provided practical learning opportunities for new editors while contributing to content expansion.
iii. Hubs and Fan Clubs: we established three additional hubs and fan clubs in different regions and institutions, nurturing localized communities passionate about Igbo language and culture. These hubs hosted edit-a-thons, outreach events, and mentorship programs, promoting active participation and content creation.
2. Collaboration and Engagement:
i. International Wiki events/Collaborations: we actively participated in international Wiki events like Wiki Loves Folklore, WikiGap and Wiki Loves Africa, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange with other language communities.
ii. Social Media Engagement: Utilized social media platforms effectively to promote initiatives, share updates, and connect with wider audiences, leading to increased awareness and participation.
iii. Community Chat Channel: Established a dedicated chat channel to foster communication and collaboration among members, resulting in over 500 regular participants engaging in discussions and support.
3. Addressing Challenges and Adaptation:
i. New Editor Support: we recognized the need for additional guidance and support for new editors by providing tailored onboarding sessions, mentorship programs, and readily accessible resources. ii. Internet Connectivity: we acknowledged the challenge of unreliable internet access in some regions and adapted by offering asynchronous activities (online forums, shared documents) and conducting offline meetups in areas with better connectivity.
iii. Diverse Time Availability: Catered to members' diverse time availabilities by offering a variety of activities with flexible schedules, including online/offline options and asynchronous participation opportunities.
Overall, the IWUG effectively implemented its proposed activities and strategies through a combination of content creation initiatives, capacity building programs, active collaboration, and a flexible approach that addressed challenges and fostered inclusivity. This resulted in significant achievements in enriching Igbo content across Wikimedia platforms, expanding community engagement, and building a vibrant and diverse Igbo Wikimedia community.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals?
Absolutely! Based on our programs, several strategies and approaches stood out for our effectiveness in achieving their goals:
1. Establishing Hubs and Fan Clubs:
i. Localized Communities: Creating hubs and fan clubs in different regions and institutions fostered a sense of belonging and ownership among members, leading to increased participation and content creation specific to their areas. ii. Targeted Outreach: Hubs and Fan Clubs facilitated targeted outreach efforts within their communities, attracting new members who might not have been aware of the IWUG or Wikimedia projects. iii. Mentorship and Support: These localized groups provided valuable peer-to-peer mentorship and support, especially for new editors, contributing to their skill development and retention.
2. Embracing Diverse Participation:
i. Flexible Activities: Offering a variety of online and offline activities with flexible schedules catered to members' diverse time availabilities and locations, ensuring wider participation. ii. Multilingual Approach: Recognizing the varying levels of English proficiency among members, the IWUG incorporated Igbo language in communication, resources, and some activities, promoting inclusivity and accessibility. iv. Addressing Technical Barriers: Providing basic technical training and support, especially in areas with limited internet access, helped bridge the digital divide and empower new editors.
3. Utilizing Technology and Social Media:
i. Learning Webinars: regularly conducting online webinars proved to be an efficient way to reach a wider audience and provide in-depth knowledge on various Wikimedia topics and tools.
ii. Community Chat Channel: Establishing a dedicated chat channel fostered a sense of community, enabled real-time communication and support, and facilitated knowledge sharing among members. iii. Social Media Engagement: Actively utilizing social media platforms to promote IWUG activities, share updates, and connect with a broader audience significantly increased awareness and participation.
Our commitment to adaptability, inclusivity, and leveraging technology played a crucial role in achieving their goals and building a thriving Igbo Wikimedia community.
3. Would you say that your project had any innovations? Are there things that you did very differently than you have seen them done by others?
Yes, our projects had innovations in the following ways:
1. Localized Hubs and Fan Clubs:
i. Hyperlocal Focus: Establishing hubs and fan clubs in specific regions and institutions goes beyond the typical geographic chapters by catering to localized content creation, outreach, and engagement, fostering a sense of ownership and relevance for members. ii. Targeted Mentorship and Support: These localized groups provide peer-to-peer mentorship and support in local languages, potentially addressing the gap in mentorship for new editors who might not be comfortable or familiar with English-dominated online communities.
2. Multilingual and Inclusive Approach:
i. Embracing Igbo Language: Incorporating Igbo language in communication, resources, and some activities promotes inclusivity and accessibility for members who might not be proficient in English, encouraging wider participation and empowering marginalized voices. ii. Addressing Technical Barriers: Providing basic technical training and support, especially in areas with limited internet access, tackles a common barrier to participation for individuals in under-resourced regions.
3. Creative Engagement Strategies:
i. Wikisource Introduction: Initiating content creation for Wikisource as a platform for Igbo literary works and resources expands the scope of Igbo content preservation and access beyond Wikipedia, potentially serving as a model for other language communities.
4. Please describe how different communities participated and/or were informed about your work.
The Igbo Wikimedians User Group (IWUG) actively engaged and informed various communities about their work in 2023 through a multi-pronged approach:
1. Internal Communication and Engagement:
i. Community Chat Channel: Established a dedicated chat channel on Telegram with over 500 regular participants, fostering communication, knowledge sharing, and a sense of community. ii. Regular Updates: Shared updates through email and social media platforms, keeping members informed about upcoming events, project progress, and achievements. iii. Internal Workshops and Training: Conducted workshops and training sessions on various Wikimedia topics, catering to different experience levels and interests, and empowering members to contribute effectively.
2. External Outreach and Collaboration:
i. Hubs and Fan Clubs: Established hubs and fan clubs in different regions and institutions, serving as local contact points and outreach channels for engaging new communities. ii. Partnerships and Collaborations: Partnered with educational institutions, libraries, and cultural organizations to organize joint events, promote Wikimedia projects, and reach wider audiences.
3. Utilizing Technology and Social Media:
i. Social Media Engagement: Maintained active presences on various social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) to share updates, promote events, and connect with a broader audience interested in Igbo language and culture. ii. Media Coverage and Outreach: Generated media coverage through press releases, interviews, and online articles, raising awareness about the IWUG's work and its impact on preserving and promoting Igbo language and culture.

Part 2: Your main learning[edit]
8. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
- Introducing Wikimedia to Tertiary Institutions: While trying to introduce Wikimedia to institutions, we encountered challenges such as lack of awareness about Wikimedia projects among faculty and students, limited time and resources for integration into curriculum, and potential technical barriers in institutions with unreliable internet access. Improvements: Four subsequent strategies involved targeted outreach to specific departments, offering practical workshops and incentives for participation, and collaborating with IT departments to address connectivity issues. Motivators: Increased institutional visibility and student interest in contributing to open knowledge.
- New Editors:
Skills and Training:While we couldn't directly address technical skills of new editors, we saw a need for additional guidance and support, gaps in basic editing tools and community norms knowledge. Beginner Trainings,Learning webinars and mentorship programs were effective means of training. Retention: There was increased participant numbers in chat channels and ongoing activities, suggesting some level of sustained engagement due to the Fan Clubs and Hubs. Motivators and Barriers: social media engagement, skill development, and sense of community were potential motivators. Lack of technical abilities, diverse time availability, and inconsistent internet access were also existing barriers. Receiving needed support through mentorship, online resources, and flexible activities improved retention.
9. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?
- Our activities had immediate impact on our community members. For example; one of the mentees became a Wiki Loves Africa Ambassador, another became a Wiki Loves Folklore Ambassador.
- Community members are becoming more familiar with projects and willing to contribute.
- Our description translation project that saw over 6k photos added to Commons has now been adopted by Wiki Loves Africa with the objective of making photo contributions more useful.
- A community member (Pascaline) has now become a certified Snapseed photo editor now offering trainings.
- Due to the outstanding contributions of community members, we sponsored two highest editors to Wiki Indaba 2023 with partial scholarship.
- We also collaborated with Wiki in Africa to host a Mini Hackathon which helped bring solutions to some problems the ISA Tool was facing.
10. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
We hope to: Continue enhancing content on Wiki projects, to enrich Igbo language across these platforms. Conduct capacity building workshops, focusing on technical aspects and content creation techniques. Expand community reach, collaboration and partnerships. Appreciate contributors through awards or recognitions
11. If you were sitting with a friend to tell them one thing about your work during this fund, what would it be (think of inspiring or fascinating moments, tough challenges, interesting anecdotes, or anything that feels important to you)?
