Project Plan[edit]

We are planning to have at least two main hybrid events where one of them will allow the Tanzanian Wikimedians to come together in-person in Dar es Salaam and have a moment of togetherness while at the same time participating in the online Wikimania 2022 global event. The second event is planned to happen as a post Wikimania event where Tanzanian Wikimedians will again meet in-person (for thise living in Dar es Salaam) and virtually(for remote participants) to have a moment of reflection on how was Wikimania 2022 The Festive Edition. During this event we will share and collect feedback on what went well, what didn’t go well, points of improvements for future Wikimania and Key take aways from the conference in relation to mission and vision of our User Group. Also we will use this chance to share some knowledge on reporting (for the Wikimania scholarship grantees).

If you are planning to distribute funds to community members, such as by running a local scholarship program, please provide additional detail on how you will organize this process.
Please provide a summary explaining the following:

  • how you will invite community members to apply for funding,
We will have a team of at least 5 experienced volunteers who will oversee the whole participation of the User Group participation to Wikimania 2022. Two of these team members will deal with communications, we will send the announcement to our social media channels and on our User Group Meta page to notify people of the opportunity for them to apply for the local scholarship for them to participate in Wikimania 2022.
  • the criteria you will use to determine eligibility, and
First Priority: Will be to active volunteers who are the first timers to attend Wikimania. This will be possible through the question that will be on the scholarship application form which will ask participants on whether it’s their first time to attend Wikimania.
2nd Priority: Will be to the newbies who want to explore and join Wikimedia Movement.We believe this could be the chance for them to be inspired by the work of other Wikimedians and get attracted to join the local and global movement of promoting pen knowledge.
3rd Priority: Will be to everyone including returning participants
  • the processes or services you will use to distribute funds.
Primarily, We plan to use the Mobile money method available in Tanzania (M-PESA, TIGO PESA, AIRTEL MONEY, T-PESA) etc for distributing the scholarships funds to successful applicants, however we will ask the convenient way for each applicant to receive the scholarship fund such through Bank accounts deposits.


This description does not need to be comprehensive, but should generally explain the process for how community members will receive funds or support to participate in Wikimania. For support on eligibility criteria, feel free to review this reviewer's guide for previous Wikimania scholarship programs.
If you are not distributing funds to community members, please write N/A below.
