Goals

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

We met some of our goals but we are not really happy with how the project went. The project was supposed to kicked off in September 2016 but we couldn't start until May 2017. This is demoralizing and there is nothing we could do since this is done in partnership with The Women's Technology and Empowerment Centre (W-TECH) who keep postponing the projects.

Outcome

Please report on your original project targets.

Target outcome	Achieved outcome	Explanation
If 6 training are organized	6 training session were organized	This outcome was achieved
If at least 100 people participate	24 people participated	Our outcome was not achieved and this is predominately due to poor project management by our partners who was to ensure the participation of the students.
If at least 20 new editors are recruited	5 new editors were recruited	Many of the participants complains that exams and projects work will not allow that to edit Wikipedia. Sometimes when they are giving a Wikipedia assignment to do, they don't do it. However, we are proud of the contribution of one of the editors User:Cupid04 who created the article Isoken and User: Projecto Jaytee who created the article w:Industreet. Both users have not edited Wikipedia in the last 2 months, both user said they won't be active until they completed their project work.
if at least 100 new articles are created or improved	Three articles were created	This is due to poor participation of the students

Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

• What worked well?

1. The readiness of our community members to support the participant is something that worked well.
2. Space for training, and facilities also worked well

• What did not work so well?

1. The project timeline does not work well. Regrettably, the incessant change of project date and poor project management by our partner, WTEC is something that impeded the success of the project. This happened for many reasons and one of the reasons is because we do not have direct access to the school management. Thus, there is limit to which we could influence decisions and the overall project design.

• What would you do differently next time?

Our inability to have direct access to all partners including the management of the University of Lagos, Intel is a major set back in this project. Next time, we will ensure to be part of the decision makers. At least, have a direct access to all partners.

Workshop; The workshop began on 18th May 2017 and ended on the 21st August 2017 at en:University of Lagos. Participants were trained on the basis of editing Wikipedia.
