Wikimédiens du Bénin User Group/Reports/2022 Annual Report
. This report covers the period from May 1st 2021 to April 30 2022.
Introduction[edit]
During the year 2021 and 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic experienced a fall which allowed the easing of the restrictive measures. This improvement allows more activity within the community: Wikipedia editing, contribution to Commons, Wikidat, LinguaLibre, Wikifon projects and many others.
Community growth & perspectives[edit]
Despite the global Covid pandemic, the community keeps active doing projects and recruiting new members. We hope, to diversify the community by recruiting more women and having them take on more responsibilities in the community. To make our work visible and increase our notoriety, we launch our own website to share with the community our activities and projects and to create more awareness.
