Comments from DSaroyan (WMF)[edit]

Hello Serieminou, thanks for submitting this Rapid Grant request. I’m excited about your plans to run a series of events in terms of the SheSaid campaign! I have a few questions for your review:

  • Have you already notified the Cameroonian community about this event? If yes, please provide links to on-wiki pages where you have informed these communities about your proposed work. Kindly add this links under question #2.
  • Could you please confirm that you’ll be having less than 10 participants in each in-person gathering?
  • We think that the contingency expenses are high. Please reduce them by half.
  • How many prizes, gifts, or certificates do you plan to offer?

Thanks again for your work and dedication! Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 13:29, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear DSaroyan (WMF), thank you for your feedback.
* I have updated the grant request with a link to the message on the Wikimedians of Cameroon User group discussion page, informing the User Group about the project .
* Yes, I will limit the number of participants for in-person gathering to 10. I have updated the refreshment budget for only 10 participants and reduced the contigency expenses by half.
* Three participants will be awarded with prizes. All participants (10-15) who take part in the activities will receive gifts (Notebooks, pencils...). Participants who will take part in at least 3 of 5 online and in-person sessions and actively participate to the SheSaid drive will receive certificates at the end of the project (10).Regards, --Serieminou (talk) 22:40, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Hello DSaroyan (WMF), I have updated the grant page with a link to a Covid-19 risk assessment tool because I anticipate we might have more than 10 participants attending one of three in-person sesssions. Is it okay to for me to do it though we might end up having just less than 10?
