Reports:Wikimedia UG Nigeria Grants/Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Community Support Fund/Report/Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 campaign in Gombe Network
Goals
[edit]Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
Yes, the campaign goals of 120 quality images were met and surpassed except for the number of participants and new editors. The initial campaign timeline was to run from 1st September to 31st October along the international campaign period. However, due to recommendations from the national organizers to conclude activities in September to align with their campaign timelines, it was readjusted to end on September 30th. Preparation and participation in the Wikiconference Nigeria by the executive team of our community partly affected our activities.
The implication of this readjustment was not being able to work with our initial plans and devising new strategy to ensure campaign goals were achieved.

Learning
[edit]Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
Partnering with a media house and utilizing social media to create awareness among the populace worked well for us in reaching out to photography enthusiasts and practitioners within a short period. Due to the readjustment in our project timeline, one of the strategies adopted to ensure meeting the campaign goal was supporting participants with transport stipends to enable them to move around easily while capturing monuments within their communities.
- What did not work so well?
The campaign timeline readjustment was a bit unfavorable and disrupted our initial planning to have the campaign run from September till October due to Wikiconference that was to be held in September; however, we were able to manage the situation effectively.
- What would you do differently next time?
Engaging with national organizer to ensure our local activities align
