Grants talk:Wikimedia UG Nigeria Grants/Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Community Support Fund/Nigerian Institute of Journalism WikiFan Club/2024Meetup and Wikidata Training

Comment

Dear Semmy1960

The Wikimedia User Group Nigeria community support fund committee has further reviewed your application, and they have some follow-up questions and requests regarding your application:

• In your proposal, you stated that you are expecting (or planning for) 25 editors, of which 15 are new editors. Does this mean that your fan club has only 10 members?
• Why do you need to rent a venue inside a registered institution? Hall rental will not be funded.
• The articles to be created/improved should be increased to match the number of editors.
• Transport fare should be for only one facilitator. (Data support would be provided by the WUGN)
• Refreshments for meetup would  not be funded. Alternate provisions for this would be made.
• Giving gifts to participants would not be approved because the target impact is too low.
• To enhance grantee experience, the WUGN has decided to provide internet support for the event. A google sheet will be provided where all participant phone numbers and service provider would be collated. This would be submitted a day before the event and airtime disbursement would be made available on the date of event. In line with this new development, the cost for all data should be excluded from your budget

Thank you for your response. There is no free electricity anywhere and you need a place where alternate power would be available that is why we are paying so that we can have alternate power.

If you don't give gifts to participants, they will not contribute to whatever you are doing.

The issue of transportation for the second trainer, is he suppose to use his money to transport himself down or there are other provisions for him?

For the meetup, will snacks be provided by WUGN.Semmy1960 (talk) 16:45, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
