Part 1 Understanding your work[edit]

1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented

The panelist including the participants was from various non-govermental organizations that we had mapped out to collaborate with and discuss the about Art and feminism.

2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.

4. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.

Our efforts during the Fund period have helped to...
A. Bring in participants from underrepresented groups Agree
B. Create a more inclusive and connected culture in our community Agree
C. Develop content about underrepresented topics/groups Agree
D. Develop content from underrepresented perspectives Agree
E. Encourage the retention of editors Agree
F. Encourage the retention of organizers Strongly agree

5. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?

-Working as a team of Wikemdians with each one of us having their roles to play made us meet our goals.

Part 2: Your main learning[edit]

6. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?

-I learned that the communities in the Coastal areas are marginalized in terms of getting support from the government to solve their issues surrounding gender activism and there are very many issues around gender inequalities in the region.

7. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences?

-Change of dates due to elections in Kenya. We also had to include transport money for attendants to get to the venue since it was not in the initial plan.

  • Having projects around the election period have a lot of uncertainty and it becomes difficult to plan.
  • Change of the budget due to high cost of inflation.

8. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?

-To always have in mind the political stability during planning stages.

  • To diversify the topics of discussion.
  • Create more time for discussion panels

9. Documentation of resources: Use this space to upload any documents that would be useful to share with others (e.g. communications material, training material, presentations).
