Notes
[edit]The budget is basically balanced.
- a bit more spent on management due to euro/dollars significant changes
- a bit less spent on country action due to Zimbabwe missing in action and other countries asking a bit less than budgeted
- communication is a bit higher than originally planned, but this is partly due to "goodies" and "postage" lines being included in communication rather than their own rows.
- All communication elements were paid by Wiki in Africa, which received bulk money from Yorg. Expenses by WiA were in rands. Payements by Yorg were in CHF. Initial grant in Dollars.
There are a couple of small expenses not yet fully accounted, such as
- financial costs of last money transfer between Wiki in Africa and Yorg (the final transfert of 850 dollars has not been implemented yet)
- Shipping of the goodies for the jury members (beanies) by WiA
- Shipping of the goodies/prizes to the winners (the winners already received their main price from Yorg) : beanies and power bank by WiA
All this should be less than 50 dollars
