Project Goal
[edit]What will be the outputs of your project and how will those outputs contribute to advancing a specific Movement Strategy Initiative?
- What specific Movement Strategy Initiative does your project focus on and why? Please select one of the initiatives described here
- This applictaion seeks to reimburse Participation support/Data package for the Tanzanian Wikimedian who participated in Movement Strategy Global Conversations (Movement Charter) on Sunday (27 June 2021) for the Tanzania participants. Also there are some Tanzanian Wikimedians who didnt get the data reimbursement for the Global discussion that happened in Nov and Dec 2020. Due to that sometimes it's quite expensive to transfer small amounts of money to, especially, African bank accounts also it learned that some bank accounts do not accept transfers in USD, following those challenges I was asked to act on behalf of Wikimedia Community User Group Tanzania to apply for the rapid grant that can merge all the amount to be reimbursed and upon arrival of the grant, the fund is to be distributed to these Tanzanian Wikimedians accordingly.
