Organization changes and governance

In the end of 2017 we have hired a new accounting company, which regulated all financial documents of previous years and now guides us in our financial planning and expenditure processes. We have undergone an audit in May 2018, by one of the leading companies in Armenia Trust Audit, which evaluated our financial documentation properly done in accordance of Armenian legislation.

WMAM changed its bank and now receives better and cheaper banking services, which enables us to save time and money. We have regulated our HR documents, paid staff annual leaves for 2016 and 2017. Our office has a free of charge 24/7 high-speed, symmetrical internet thanks to partnership with Rostelecom Armenia telecommunication company.

WMAM started revising of its Bylaw to match it with reformed local legislation and fill those gaps that were creating financial and management problems for us. Several drafts of the document were discussed by the Board, but we still do not have the final one.

Development and adoption of internal regulations, handbooks for Board and employee are the next major milestone we plan to achieve after revision of the Bylaw. While drafting those we will use the existing models shared by other Wikimedia Chapters and similar NGOs operating in Armenia.

Job descriptions of staff were developed based on the individual monthly reports developed for several months and program directions. The clarified job descriptions ensure no overlaps in responsibilities and bring clarity in our daily work.

1. Taking wiki deep into education

Impact and lessons learned

The implementation of mentoring system at Teachers’ training allow community members to transfer from a receiver into someone who also gives back, shares, and trains. Besides, by becoming trainers in such events, the teachers gain experience in how to teach wiki editing to newbies, afterwards they use those skills in their classrooms.
Working with individual university students does not result in large scale impact in the use of Wikipedia as a teaching tool in the universities. Hence, we began to collaborate with universities on the level of faculty or professors.
The appreciation letters sent to wikieditor teachers and their school principals increased their motivation to contribute to Wikimedia Movement and use Wikimedia Projects in Education and made school principals to better value and support their teachers.
The primary goal of the Education program should not be the content development itself, but rather the development of participants’ self learning culture by reading and editing. Therefore, from a new APG year we shifted our program main goal from the amount of content into the quality content.
One way communication system is not effective - two way communication enables the educators to be heard and to better contribute in the development of WMAM programs. Following this conclusion, we have revised several points of the Education Program in the annual plan and APG proposal.

The participants ideas and suggestions were written down and need to be worked on for designing a toolkit on using wikitools in school education.
Have teachers create educational resources (textbook, lesson plan) with Wikimedia projects.	On hold	One of the sessions of Teachers’ Wikiweek in Autumn 2017 was a discussion on the possibility of creating educational resources and lessons plans’ with Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia Armenia’s Education Program coordinator facilitated the discussion where the majority of teachers found this idea not appropriate at the moment as the Wikimedia projects are not convenient for the lessons plans and there is not enough experience of using Wikimedia projects in educational process.
At least 1 module with 10 lessons created for online teaching and tested with a remote audience of 20 people.	Partly done	WMAM did a research on other chapters' experience in creating online teaching modules. We adapted some modules to our community and Wikipedia.

The workshops were dedicated to the Wikipedia reading as well as teaching wikiediting tools.
90 teachers participating in 2 wiki seminars with 50 teachers surviving 6 months after seminar.	Partly done	The first Teachers’ Wikiweek of this program took place in October 29-November 3, 2017 with 28 participants, 10 teachers survived by April 2018. The second Teachers’ Wikiweek took place on 25-30 June, 2018 with 45 participants. We can provide the number of survived participants in the end of December, 2018.
At least 1 WikiClub is established at one of the biggest universities in Armenia.	Done	A WikiClub has been established in the American University of Armenia (AUA) by an experienced wiki editor, who entered AUA in 2017.
At least 2 professors give assignments that include editing, translating or creating Wikipedia articles.	Done	This granting period we have worked with 3 professors of American University of Armenia who have given assignments to their students in Wikipedia. Several workshops were conducted for the students to teach editing tools. As a result, 13 articles were created or improved in Armenian and English Wikipedias. Most of the articles were from the “Vital articles that each Wikipedia should have” list.

2. Sustain WikiCamps with renewed content

I create a vital article campaign (Winter Wikicamp 2018)

Impact and lessons learned

We have conducted several lessons learning and feedback sessions to understand the major issues and gaps of previous camps and based on that revised the planning and organization approaches. Advanced planning, proper team role definitions resulted in better time management and effective event organization. Establishing communication plans and revising communication channels for all the camps in advance, helped to deliver clear messages and key points to the future campers. The full program and schedule of the camp was reviewed, adapted to the participants’ age.
We made camper enrollment and selection process more transparent and comprehensive. The selection committee redesigned selection criterias considering the feedback from the community. Selection of campers from Wikiclubs was carried out by communicating to the Wikiclub coordinator, making possible to consider other sides of clubbers activity besides numbers and frequency of edits.
Intense work with the paid campers prior to the camp made possible to conduct camps that addressed critical needs and expectations of paid participants and their parents and at the same time not to damage the overall atmosphere of the camp. We arranged several informational meetings with the participants and their parents presenting the camps and ensuring that they understand the ideology of the movement and the camp and that all their concerns are addressed.
One of the measures of the camp was to record word pronunciation which was however not possible due to the background noise of the venue. We decided to make recordings at the special room of WMAM office with the help of adult volunteers.
Another lessons learned is that when we strive for more number of articles at the Wikicamps we gain less quality, that's why we encouraged editors to concentrate on the quality of the articles thus we ended up with large articles but few in numbers.

Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
Sustain the participation of 400 students in all camps, of which 360 students participation funded through WMAM various projects and 40 students individually paid participations	Partly done	One of the proposed four Wikicamps was organized in October-November 2017, having 61 participants funded through WMAM and 8 individually paid. Winter Wikicamp had 53 participants, Summer Wikicamps had 76 participants funded through WMAM and 16 individually paid. While planning this objective we did not take into account the number of staff members. So the original number of 360 budgeted participants includes both the campers and staff members (in average 25 staff members - team leaders, support staff, wiki team. Three summer camps (including one from 2017-2018 APG) were announced at once and for three different age groups. This allowed to inform the participants about upcoming events and plan in advance and for WMAM to better work with vendors and equally distribute organizational time and resources. We ended up with having three very different events which was a great learning process and fun for the wiki team as well.
Increase percentage of retained contributors from 25 to 40	Done	In September 2018, 77 participants out of 214 were active on Wikipedia (~36%).
Organize at least 4 WikiCamps by July 1, 2018	Done	The Autumn Wikicamp was organized on 28 October - 5 November 2017, the winter WikiCamp - on February 2-8, the Summer Wikicamps - on July 4-13 and July 20-27, 2018.

28,000,000 bytes added to wiki projects.	Partly done	20,465,426 bytes added to wiki projects during the WikiCamps.
1000 files uploaded in Wikimedia Commons (Armenian words pronunciation).	Relisted	As stated in the lessons learned section, we decided to conduct the recordings at the WMAM office, where 15,698 words were recorded from November to June, 2018.
Introduce at least 3 new modules on personal development and learning skills	Done	Already done last year.
Advanced website is designed to promote WikiCamps and opportunity for paid participation, as well as, to create and maintain relationships with interested individuals	Done	Already done last year - http://wikicamp.org

3. Establish WikiClubs within reach of every student

Impact and lessons learned

Wikiclubs are working more effectively when they have clear working program for a period of time. When the program is scheduled with precise timelines and is filled with different editing exercises, new participants involving and outreach events, the WikiClubs tend to have higher performance.
Regular calls and meetings with WikiClubs coordinators foster the productive work of the WikiClubs. Regular reports, two side communication help to evaluate the clubs performance, be aware of their ongoing activities, arosen problems, etc., thus making the clubs coordination easier and more effective.


Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
Establish 10 new WikiClubs by July 1, 2018	Partly done	WMAM has received a grant from Armenian General Benevolent Union for establishing 5 WikiClubs in Spitak, Goris, Alaverdi, Koghb and Vardenik where we had active wiki teachers. Another two WikiClubs have been established with the support of individual sponsors in Hatsik and Gyumri.
Maintain activity of 14 running WikiClubs	Done	As of December 31, WMAM has maintained 11 WikiClubs (at the time of writing the APG proposal WMAM had 10 active WikiClubs. The number 14 is a typo). After the grant proposal until July 1, WMAM has established 2 WikiClubs (Ddmashen and Vanashen WikiClubs) and closed the Artashat WikiClub due to its insufficient activeness.
Design at least 10 sessions led by WikiClub coordinators on skills and habits of success	Not done	The meeting with WikiClub coordinators in March, 2018 was full of discussions on their work methodology, reporting and communication and made clear that there was a huge gap in this fields few to mention. We have worked in this direction, jointly with coordinators developed a WikiClub manual (in Armenian) covering all the fields of WikiClub and currently we have reached a situation, that we can diversify our curriculum in WikiClubs and incorporate personal development sessions.
Implement at least one professional development brainstorming and workshop with WikiClub coordinators	Done	In March 2018 we organized a meeting with WMAM WikiClubs coordinators.
Collect WikiClub membership monthly/annual fee from at least 5 sponsors	Partly done	WMAM has discussed this issue with WikiClubs sponsors earlier who have agreed with paying monthly/annual fee. Official letters were sent to some sponsors which resulted in receiving 2 membership fees from the sponsors.
Organize at least one event for WikiClub sponsors to discuss growth opportunities and community building	Not done	Due to WMAM busy calendar the event was not organized.
Help at least 5 sponsors develop interaction and mentoring with WikiClub students	Not done	Instead, we have organized some sponsors’ visits to the WikiClubs where they got acquainted with the clubs activities in details and were inspired to continue their sponsorship in future.

4. Engage and grow community through meaningful participation

Impact and lessons learned

Engaging community members in various WMAM events as mentors, such as Wikicamps, Teacher trainings, various workshops, increased the productivity of newcomers and made community members feel ownership towards Wikimedia Movement. Being a part of a Mentoring Team during the WikiCamp and Teachers’ Week motivated our community members to contribute and participate more․
International writing contests and “I create a vital article” campaign gave us a solid ground to conclude that proposing concrete lists of articles to edit helps editors to contribute more easily and WMAM to do targeted and measurable work. Thematic and structured initiative approach helps to engage more valuable contributors and generate more quality articles.
Different capacity building and learning events for the community highly impacted on the skill development and motivation of community members. These events helped us also to target broader (non wiki) audience and increase WMAM visibility, confirming the fact that we are resource providing organization.
On the base of the community needs evaluation report better communication and evaluation strategies were incorporated into the new annual plan. We seek to improve two-way communication with our community, where the community is involved in decision making and governance.
We learned that short term events (~2 days long) are not enough for the newbies to learn editing process and policies well enough, therefore we planned to have short term events only for the experienced participants, and longer events for the new editors.

Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
Establish tighter and more active relationship with existing and potential Wikipedians.	Done	We strived for better engagement and participation of the community in decision making and planning of the organization activities organizing annual plan and other discussions. With a better evaluation strategy we collected participants feedback more effectively. The community needs assessment survey showed us the ways we can make the existing relationship with the community better.

Organize at least 3 event (masterclass, workshop, brainstorming, team-building) with professionals and activists famous in particular domains	Done	Three capacity building and learning events were organized at WMAM office attracting community members and other interested people. The workshops were led by a professional in its field. These workshops are: Media Literacy, Common mistakes in Armenian, Copyright and related rights. The events were largely welcomed by the community and WMAM intends to continue this practice.
Attract and involve more professionals by organizing at least 5 different workshops in different educational and scientific institutions.	Done	5 different workshops were organized with different educational and scientific institutions. See more on monthly reports.
Organize 8 edit-a-thons for WLS participants	Done	6 editathons were organized in this reporting period. 2 of them were larger events and involved twice as many participants as planned for these editathons and dedicated to “I create a vital article” campaign. Another editaton was completely on the medicine and was organized for medical students/professors only in partnership with the Yerevan State Medical University. See more on monthly reports.
Organize at least 2 fully sponsored edit-a-thons to increase literacy in particular areas	Partly done	In spring, 2018 Central Bank of Armenia, in partnership with WMAM announced a contest of writing Wikipedia articles on financial topics. The list for contest was mainly composed of vital articles. Though the contest received a larger outreach in the beginning, the Central Bank had to stop it for unknown period of time due to large demonstrations, strikes during the Velvet Revolution.

Newly designed website is up and running and shared on CC license with the rest of the WM affiliates	Done	The website was created on MediaWiki on WMF servers.

5. Establish Western Armenian as distinct wiki language

Impact and lessons learned

Western and Eastern Armenian content is currently located only on one Wikipedia. Having two language content in one Wikipedia is a tough and unproductive experience, as it creates technical, language obstacles, and demotivates Western Armenian contributors and readers to use Wikipedia.
Our experience with Teacher trainings and Wikicamps showed that holding joint events for Western and Eastern Armenian editors inspires and motivates both parties.

Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
Establish Western Armenian as a separate language on Wikimedia projects and separate Western and Eastern (general) Armenian content	Done	The efforts of Wikimedia Armenia to get separate ISO 639-3 language code for Western Armenian were finally succeeded. SIL International, the ISO 639-3 Registration Authority, decided to create the code element [hyw] for Western Armenian January 30, 2018. Western Armenian editors translated the Wikipedia interface into Western Armenian and currently waiting for the decision of the language committee to open the Western Armenian Wikipedia (see more on monthly report).
Organize WikiCamp in France in August with 54 participants	Done	The Wikicamp in France was organized on 12-19 August in La Bourboule, France with 54 participants (43 campers and 11 staff members).
Open at least 1 Western Armenian WikiClub	Done	Natalie Baghdad, a participant in Teacher and journalist training from Istanbul, opened a Wikiclub in its school - Istanbul Armenian Central College. The participants were working on Wikisource, as Wikipedia was blocked in Turkey.
Recruit at least 1 coordinator to build up relationship with Western Armenian WikiCamp participants	Done	Sevan Danielian, the participant of the Western Armenian teacher's training, helped Wikimedia Armenia to build up and maintain the contact with the Lebanese-Armenian community, supporting the growth of Wikimedia Movement in Lebanon and development of Western Armenian project.
Involve 35 new active Western Armenian students by July 2018	Done	61 new editors were involved in editing in Western Armenian (29 new editors through the Wikicamp in France, 27 new editors through the Teacher and journalist training, 5 new editors through the individual workshop at Wikimedia Armenia office, Yerevan).
1500 new Western Armenian articles created by July 1, 2018	Partly done	1125 articles created on the Armenian Wikipedia in Western Armenian by July 1, 2018.
Integrate WikiCamp activities in at least one Armenian Diaspora gathering organized by third organization	Done	KASA Foundation has an initiative for Diasporan Armenian youth living in Armenia aimed at building ties between those, providing soft skills and preserving the Western Armenian language. We have initiated an event with this group full of editing and fun activities, but the event had little success and none of the participants continued wikiediting.
At least 10 participants (teachers and journalists) from Diaspora, participate in summer seminars	Done	On 10-17 July, 2017 a training for 10 teachers and journalists took place in Aghveran. Another training was conducted on 25-30 June, 2018 with 18 participants.

6. Increase and diversify funding sources

Impact and lessons learned

Due to shortcoming in our Bylaws most of WMAM’s individual donors of WikiClubs fund the Clubs directly, which creates management issues.
WMAM is not widely known in Armenia and there is a need to increase the visibility to help our fundraising efforts.
Diversification of organization’s donor portfolio increases the staff fundraising and reporting capacity and creates more trust towards the organization.

Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
Design at least 5 fundraising products either for general purpose funding or funding specific WMAM projects that pursue common goals and objectives with funding organization	On hold	WMAM successfully managed to engage funds from individual sponsors for WikiClubs and 2 institutional donors, which helped the organization to broaden its activities. Currently we are investing and testing new reporting tools for individual sponsors and learning new reporting approaches from two new donors, at the same time improving our financial planning and management, which will become a good base for developing of new fundraising products.
Design new website and other media allowing for dissemination of the clear messages about our various activities and easy and diverse ways to donate or support specific projects	Done	On November WMAM staff began working on the official website of the organization. As a result of several discussions the draft of the website was created. The website was an essential priority because with the ongoing activities carried out by WMAM the organization did not have a place to announce and keep all the records of its projects. The structure and the content of the website are more or less final, we constantly update the information and interface to keep it fresh and interesting for visitors.
Attract at least 30,000 USD from various sources, either through direct general purpose funding or sponsorship of special projects, (excluding current sponsorship initiatives, e.g. Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation)	Done	Fundraising efforts of WMAM were quite effective in the report period. We managed to attract a 18 million AMD (~37 000 USD) grant from the Bridge for CSOs EU funded project (implemented by the Armenian General Benevolent Union - AGBU), which is used to enlarge to movement in Armenia by establishing 5 new WikiClubs. WMAM received another grant of 16 mln AMD (~33 000 USD) from Yerevan Foundation to deepen its GLAM activities mainly with Yerevan based GLAM institutions and to implement “Wiki Loves Yerevan” project.
Organize fundraising event around Wikimedia Armenia 5th anniversary celebration events	Not done	5th anniversary of Wikimedia Armenia coincided with the period of Velvet Revolution in Armenia (May 2018) which didn’t provide the opportunity to organize a wide outreach campaign around Wikimedia Armenia and wiki movement in general and build necessary ground for fundraising event.

7. Exposing value of publicly available content to the development of GLAM institutions

Impact and lessons learned

The GLAM collaboration is moving slowly but with firm steps. After the GLAM forum organized within the project “Wiki Loves Yerevan” where we had participants both from Armenia and other wiki communities, WMAM has established ties with a number of GLAM institutions which laid the groundwork for further fruitful collaboration.

Establish collaboration with at least 3 new GLAM institutions by July 1, 2018 and continue to work with at least 3 current partners (National Library, Matenadaran, History Museum of Armenia and smaller museums)	Done	We strated collaborating with several museums (M.Sarian House-Museum, Yervand Kochar Museum, Alexander Tamanyan Research Institute-Museum, National Library of Armenia, etc) in Yerevan in the frames of Yerevan 2800 anniversary and with the funding of Yerevan Foundation. As a result of this cooperation, we have access to the content about Yerevan that have museums. Based on these materials the editors of Armenian Wikipedia create and improve articles about Yerevan.
Create and improve 200 articles on the base of materials given by GLAM partners.	Done	115 articles were created and improved in Armenian Wikipedia based on the materials provided by GLAM institutions and during the international edit-a-thon 1167 articles were created in different language Wikipedias.
Have at least 20 participants at 6 workshops organized for GLAM institutions	Done	Instead of organizing 6 workshops with 20 participants we have organized more workshops but with less participants. We had regular workshops for the GLAM institutions staff each Saturday. Major workshops were organized during Wiki Loves Yerevan opening and GLAM Forum.
Release at least 2 books under free licenses	Done	As a result of WMAM and Western Armenian author and public speaker Toros Toranian collaboration, the latter published his 105 books under free license which are now available in Wikimedia Commons and Armenian Wikisource.
2 participants in GLAM conference	n/a	There was no GLAM conference organized in the reporting period.

8. Turn digitization into fun and enriching experience

Impact and lessons learned

As the main proofreaders of Wikisource content are high school students we decided to prioritize those books which are included in the school curriculum and may be of interest of those editors. Thus, we not only support the content creation on Wikisource but also education of proofreaders.

Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
Digitize at least 50 Armenian books by July 1, 2018	Done	209 books were digitized by Wikimedia Armenia by July 1, 2018. These books are either public domain books, or they were shared under Creative Commons license.
Maintain 60 active editors of Armenian Wikisource	Done	As of July 1, 2018 Armenian Wikisource had more than 100 active editors.
Scan at least 11,000 average pages	Done	44,725 pages were digitized by Wikimedia Armenia in this reporting period (see more on monthly reports).
Introduce a web page and online form, where volunteers can mention their availability for the work, their interest in listening to particular audio content	Done	As the main part of the proofreaders are from the WIkiclubs we targeted WIkiclubs asking their coordinators which books they would like to see proofread. The results of the survey indicated that books which are included in the school curriculum are of much interest. Moreover, we involved volunteers in different activities of the digitization project making this process implemented by the efforts of volunteers.

9. Hack the expansion of wiki movement with wiki-hackathon

Impact and lessons learned

As the community was not ready for the hackathon, the organization decided not to organize this event. Instead the finances for this program were used for covering the expenses of the chairperson of WMAM to participate in Barcelona Hackathon.

Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
Organize 1 wiki hackathon with at least 120 participants	Not done
Have at least 2 supporting corporations	Not done
At least 2 new projects initiated to spread accelerate wiki movement	Not done

10. Become hub for knowledge and innovation exchange

Impact and lessons learned

International collaborations and contests, editing contests done with other Wikimedia affiliates, such as Armenian-Austrian collaboration, CEE Spring 2017 and Europeana 1914-18, always empower and motivate the editors resulting in more quality content.
With all the considerable benefit international events bring for participants, they also inspire attendees to feel as a part of the international Wikimedia community.

Target	Progress (at end of Q2)	Comments
At least 3 joint projects with other chapters lasting a medium (up to six months) period of time	Done	Austrian-Armenian, CEE Spring 2017, Armenian-Norwegian Women Collaboration, Bodil Biorn and Europeana 1914-18 writing contests were organized.

Resources

Resources to plan for measurement

Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don’t stop there.
Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.
