 Support. As a new and rapidly growing community, I believe the community will benefit a lot from this project. Lynessa Ofori (talk) 11:52, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

I support this proposal as I could see the high quality of content produced in Fante on the incubator (Following a collaboration between Wiki World Heritage and the Fante community to translate articles about WH sites in danger), and I believe that these proposed activities will accelerate its development and lead to the official launch of Fante wikipedia.

I think this proposal will help develop the Fante language and engage the Fante speakers as could be seen in previous campaigns. I was a participant in the previous project and the students were eager to contribute in the Fante language which will help represent the Fante language on Wikipedia, Wikidata etc.

Funded

Hello Robertjamal12, thanks so much for putting together this complete proposal. We have reviewed and funded this grant for 4,371.82 USD (61,194 GHS). The reason of partial funding is that we think that some expenses in the budgets are high and need to be adjusted (for example, rows #5, #6, #17-19). Please adjust the budget accordingly on the budget file. Note that starting from this Rapid Fund round, the payment will be made in your local currency only.

Dear DSaroyan (WMF),Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to review our proposal. We have addressed all concerns and have adjusted the budget to $4,370.43. There were economic expert review and projections for the inflation of prices at the market and business industry prior to the application for this grant due to high inflation which the economy is facing at this time and because of the review process, we needed a budget that will match the economy at the time of disbursement for the grant, hence, the budget submitted.

Nevertheless, the proposed inflation by the economic think-tanks have come to pass.
