Metrics tracking

How do you plan to track your project metrics? (do not create a metrics dashboard until your project has been approved for funding) I will upload all pictures to a special group called "Wiki Loves Africa 2024 Nigeria." This will help Wikimedia Commons keep track of the number of pictures uploaded. To monitor participation, I will use a tool called the Outreach Dashboard. This tool will help me track the number of participants and their activity levels, giving me valuable insights into the project's success and areas for improvement. By using this information, I can enhance my outreach efforts and ensure the project's continued growth and impact.
