| This request for micro-funding to WikiIndaba 2023 has just been submitted by Ogundele1 on 2-10-2023 and is awaiting support. |
Description[edit]
Wikimedia Fan Club, University of Ibadan, is a Wikipedia community in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. As a community, we proposed to be one of the virtual hosts of the WikiIndaba Satellite Conference 2023, happening in Morocco in November 2023. According to the theme of the conference, "Tweeza: Empowering Africa through Knowledge sharing and Collaboration," hosting the conference will help us share knowledge among ourselves as Africa Wikimedians and empower Africa through it.
We intend to join the event and actively engage in the activities going on at the physical location of the conference in Morocco while we joined virtually.
At the last day of the event, we will share our experiences as Africa Wikimedians and share knowledge among ourselves on how we can empower Africa.

Jury decision[edit]
Dear Ogundele1 and colleagues from Wikimedia Fan Club University of Ibadan,
We are sincerely grateful for the time and effort you invested in applying for a micro-grant for WikiIndaba 2023. Your interest in contributing to this event is highly appreciated.
Unfortunately, we have to inform you that your application was not selected for the micro-grant. We received an overwhelming number of quality applications (77 applications for only 7 grants), which made the decision process extremely challenging. Given the constraints, our focus has been on projects from underrepresented communities or groups that lack on-site representation at the conference. The team decided therefore to provide the grants only to countries where there are no user groups at the moment.
Though your application was not selected, we greatly value your interest in WikiIndaba 2023. To stay engaged and catch all the latest updates, we invite you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and instagram. Additionally, we encourage you to subscribe to our YouTube channel, where we'll be sharing conference highlights and key sessions. We also suggest reaching out to your group members who will be participating in the conference, so they can share experiences and learnings with you.
Best regards,
Organizing Committee, WikiIndaba Conference 2023 -- WikiIndaba2021 (talk) 13:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
