Not Funded[edit]

Hello @KingVik Planet thank you for applying for the rapid fund grant. We reviewed your application and after a careful consideration, have decided to not fund this application at this time. Your project to foster collaboration between professional academic organizations and Wikimedia projects is ambitious and has the potential to significantly impact both the academic and Wikimedia communities. However, there is an absence of impact metrics or how you intend to track the outcomes of this engagement effectively. Additionally, the lack of engagement/coordination with the existing Wikimedia User Group in Rwanda, that is already active in similar endeavors presents significant challenges to this project's viability. We recommend that you engage closely with the user group in Rwanda to ensure that there are no overlaps or duplication.

Best regards, (On behalf of the Middle East and Africa regional funds team) ~~~~ YPam (WMF) (talk) 10:19, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
