Fort du succès de la campagne précédente, nous souhaitons désormais concentrer nos efforts sur une zone stratégique : la région Maritime au Togo. Bien que cette dernière soit relativement mieux représentée sur Wikimedia Commons, de nombreux monuments y sont encore absents ou documentés avec des images de faible qualité. . Le principal défi que nous identifions est le déséquilibre géographique et qualitatif dans la documentation des monuments togolais sur les projets Wikimedia. Ce manque nuit à une représentation équitable du patrimoine national et limite l’accès libre à des contenus visuels fiables et pertinents. Pour y remédier, nous proposons une approche en trois axes : 1-Renforcement des capacités des membres et nouveaux contributeurs sur les techniques de prise de vue adaptées aux monuments et paysages, avec un accent particulier sur la composition, la lumière naturelle et la mise en valeur du sujet. 2-Organisation d'une sortie photographique ciblée dans la région Maritime afin d’identifier, capturer et documenter des monuments peu ou pas représentés. 3-Téléversement structuré des images sur Wikimedia Commons, avec des métadonnées complètes.
