Overview
[edit]- 1. In order to support community review, please provide a brief description of your organization's work in the upcoming funding period that can be used as a summary of your proposal. (This should be about 200 words, and should be easy for anyone to understand.)
Wikimedia South Africa is a Wikimedia Chapter for the Republic of South Africa. It is incorporated as a non-profit-making organisation under South African law. It was founded locally on 25 February 2012, after being approved as a Chapter by the Wikimedia Foundation on 26 March 2011.
This Chapter seeks to promote local awareness of all Wikimedia projects and their proper academic use and encourage translation efforts into local languages thereby supporting, developing and promoting the creation of local free knowledge and media.
The Wikimedia South Africa Chapter aims to support a vibrant multilingual and multicultural content community that generates and disseminates content that is used, and undertook by the local and global community. In doing so, it facilitates contributions to the commons of African knowledge, promotes free access to knowledge in all South African languages, collects and disseminates information about, but not exclusive to South Africa, and contributes to the creation of free and open knowledge in South Africa.

- 4. Please explain your organization's rationale if your revenues or total annual expenses will change significantly this year.
This is the first year that this Chapter is requesting funding from the FDC. Our Audited Financial Statement for WMZA 2014 can be viewed here.
In terms of projects, the budget has been calculated taking into account previously funded projects by the WMF which have proved very successful in raising awareness of the Chapter and the global Wikimedia movement. We have applied an increase to curb inflation.
With funding from the Open Society Foundation we were able to employ our first full time Administrator in December 2013. As a Chapter seeking to grow the movement in South Africa and the greater Africa community, we believe that the continued support of such a full time employee will greatly benefit the Chapter and the movement in Africa. The WMF supported the appointment of the Administrator and has approved our grant application to continue the employment to co-incide with our first annual grant application to the FDC. The Chapter has seen an increased number of projects in 2014 from 2 per annum to 14.
Our budget also includes new projects which we aim to introduce in 2015 to further establish the movement in various city centres, and to address shortfalls that exist in the various language wiki's in South Africa.
The total for PEG grants above includes Wiki Indaba which amounted to a PEG grant of ZAR 591 489.00 / USD 54 530.00. This initiative has not been included in the annual plan for 2015/2016.
Community engagement
[edit]This section provides the FDC an overview of your organization's work with volunteers and online contributors.
- 1. Which Wikimedia community or communities does your organization work with most closely, and which online Wikimedia project or projects does your organization's work support?
- - English Wikipedia
- - Afrikaans Wikipedia
- - Zulu Wikipedia
- - Xhosa Wikipedia
- - Sesotho Wikipedia
- - Xitsonga Wikipedia
- - Setswana Wikipedia
- - Wikimedia Commons
- - Wikidata
- - Wikiversity
- - Wikinews
- 2. How does your organization know what community members / contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct needs assessments? How else does your organization consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work?
As a small Chapter we have only just begun to recognise the need to build on information required to expand the broader Wiki projects, thereby identifying gaps and addressing them. We have used the projects successfully implemented to date as a basis for answering some of the questions, and will continue to do so in future.
As a first step, we aim to conduct a survey which will enable us to determine a few key metrics of South African users. This Survey will be conducted via Qualtrics. A copy of the draft questionnaire can be viewed here. This information will be used to tailor requirements for future events.
We have arranged monthly meet ups in Cape Town to provide contributors / members with a platform to discuss current issues. We plan to extend this to Gauteng as well during 2015 in order to facilitate such meetings in two major cities of South Africa.
As part of our efforts to gage community involvement in the coming year, we have introduced Wikimetrics (Long, medium and short) form to be completed at all edit-a-thons or events.
Organization planning and reports
[edit]Please provide links to your organization’s planning documents and reports. All of these documents are required unless otherwise indicated.
Your organization's strategic planning documents, past reports, and current annual planning documents, are essential to our understanding of your organization's proposal. If you think you will have difficulty submitting any of these documents with your organization's proposal form by the proposal submission deadline, you should contact FDC staff right away.

Financials: year-to-date progress
[edit]The purpose of this section is to give the FDC an idea of how your organization is receiving funds and spending funds against your current plan.
- Current funding period: This is the funding period currently progress on 31 March 2015, according to the upcoming funding period you defined in the overview section. This is a 12-month period. For organizations new to the APG process, this will be the 12 months before your upcoming funding period (e.g. 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015).
- Year-to-date funding period: This is the period between the start of your current funding period and 1 March 2015. This period may be less than 12 months, since its length will depend on when your current funding period begins.
- Projected revenues and expenses: This is the entire amount you plan to receive and spend by the time your current funding period ends. Your projected year is the same as your current year, which is a 12-month period.

Programs: upcoming year's annual plan
[edit]This section is about your organization's programs. Please do not include information about your organization's operating activities in this section. You are welcome to provide information about activities like administration, staff and board training, fundraising, governance, and internal IT in another section of this proposal form or in a supplementary document. Please answer all four questions for each program.
Wikimedia ZA exists to support a vibrant, multilingual and multi-cultural content community that generates and disseminates content that is used and understood by local and global communities. By doing so, we provide a channel of communication between the Wikipedia community and other free culture and open software communities and institutions, that are guardians of local content, with the goal to further awareness and understanding of the Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia : and ultimately to ensure access to knowledge for all South Africans.
WM ZA specifically seeks to promote local awareness of the projects and their proper academic use, encourage translation efforts into local languages, and support the creation of local free knowledge and media.
With this in mind, the projects planned for 2015 / 2016 are centered around 3 focus areas namely Community Outreach, Institutional Outreach and International Collaboration.
Community Outreach
Please note that all grantees will be asked to report on the global metrics, so please review them and keep them in mind as you design your programs, and then track and measure the impact of your programs.
WM ZA aims to engage South Africans to contribute to Wikipedia in their particular language of choice. With 11 official languages, South Africans have the ability to contribute not only to the English and Afrikaans Wikipedia, but also various smaller Wikipedia's. By doing this, more information is accessible to the many individuals who are not fluent in English.
- Zulu Wikipedia
- Xhosa Wikipedia
- Sotho Wikipedia
- Xitsonga Wikipedia
- Setswana Wikipedia
The following projects are envisioned as part of our Community Outreach Focus :
Celebrating History :
- Joburgpedia
- GLAM
- Kaapedia
- Wiki Loves Monuments
Twenty years into democracy, South Africa has a lot to offer in terms of documents, media and information with historical importance. Not only since the inception of democracy, but also prior to the post-apartheid era. Various sites of historical importance are targeted in the above projects. The aim is to engage community members from all walks of life - whether it be students, learners, heritage enthusiasts, heritage foundations or subject experts - to capture as much information as possible to preserve our rich history for generations to come. We aim to inspire participants to contribute to Wikipedia in terms of improving articles, creating articles or uploading new content and media which can be used on Wikipedia or other related Wiki projects.
Outreach :
- Wiki Loves Afrikaans
- Wikipedia Zero
- Wiki From Above
As a Chapter we want to engage with existing and new contributors to the small language Wiki's. For the first time, the Chapter is aiming at engaging with the Afrikaans Wikipedia community which currently has a small number of editors / contributors with the aim of expanding this Wiki in terms of content. Phase 1 of this project will be aimed at introducing a writing contest with the support of various Afrikaans Speaking Institutions, encouraging people to contribute on a subject matter of choice.
As a further initiative we want to focus on expanding access to Wikipedia in terms of the use of mobile platforms. Sinenjongo High School will be the pilot project for this first phase where we will install Kiwix units for using Wikipedia offline.
Wiki From Above is a new project launched in March 2015 with the focus on increasing the quantity and quality of aerial photographs and video media of important public landmarks in Africa on Commons. A particular focus is on content from drones.

Access to mobile devices is on the increase in Africa and is expected to intensify in the next few years, increasing Africa's on-line presence. In order to take advantage of this projected growth, it is therefore important to establish and strengthen Wikipedia and Wikimedia structures in Africa.
The establishment of Wikimedia regional co-operations in regions such as Latin America, India and Asia, has supported the progressive and systematic growth of awareness and coverage of Wikipedia in these regions. Our International Collaboration focus is on establishing and maintaining a sustainable dialogue with collaborators in Wikimedia Chapters, the Wikimedia Foundation and the international communities to frame the issue of community activation and corporate governance in the context of Africa. We aim to build a shared understanding of what it means to be a volunteer in Africa and why it is important. Our aim is to connect, multiply and create successful initiatives for increasing community activation and support within regions. Activities will be focused on Community Activation and Corporate Governance.
