This will be a one-month long contest on adding content related to human rights, environmental health, and diverse communities impacted by environmental issues around the world into Swahili Wikipedia

2. How will you let people know about the contest?

We will use our social media platforms (Telegram group, facebook page, Instagram page and Twitter), Wikimedia Tanzania meta page. Additionally, we have talked to the members about this during our recent Wiki Loves Africa launchinge events in our country.

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
Note: Grantees, judges, and other contest leaders are ineligible to receive prizes. Grantees who are serving as judges may not receive gifts through grant funding.

The winners will be judged based on 1.Quality of articles created 2. Quality of their articles translations 3. Length of the articles created/translated (number of bytes) 4. Quality of Wiki articles based on Wiki writing skills such as the use of images and categories.

4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?

For all articles that will have no photos the article writers will be taught to visit the Wikicommons categories and urge them to use those photos to improve the Human rights related Swahili articles.

5. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

#WikiForHumanRights campaign in Tanzania is one of the important topics that most people have an interest in, hence we are happy to host this campaign again this year as its articles are very important for people to understand and know their human rights and join the global efforts of educating people about the importance of preserving environments.
