Change request - line-items

[edit]

I ask for change in line-items within the budget beyond the 20% threshold.

The complete updated budgt table:

  • outreach: 220 EUR
    • 150,90 EUR for Facebook page likes (+50,90 EUR)
    • 109,10 EUR for directing visitors to contest page (-10,90 euro)
  • prizes: 445 EUR
    • African newcomers: 225 EUR (-40 euro)
    • regular contributors - writing: 90 EUR
    • regular contributors - translating: 90 EUR

total: 665 EUR

Rationale:

  • Some budgeted prizes for Africa newcommers are unused because of non-eligibility.
  • Adding the unused funds fron underspend line-items in this time make sense only for increassing Facebook page likes (from the budgeted line-items).

Effects for the project:

  • The total budget is not changed.
  • The project activities will be same, just with more focus on getting Facebook page likes.
  • Having a larger social media followers from the targeted project audience is supposed to increase long-term beneficial effects of the project. It allows us to use this larger targeted audience to build a long-term relationships with more prospective editors from this underrepresented community. As a concequence, we can help more prospective editors to become editors - both in the usual whole-year-long outreach, and also in specific projects, including a possible African month Esperanto in future. In a sence, it is a re-utilizing unspent short-term outcomes to help build better long-term outcomes.
