La phase 2 de la stratégie du mouvement en Afrique des Grands Lacs se concentrera sur le développement du leadership et des compétences. Des formations et des ateliers adaptés seront organisés au-delà des plateformes existantes et veilleront à ce que l'approche des futurs publics soit mise en œuvre afin d'attirer les jeunes contributeurs potentiels.
Les objectifs, les résultats et l'impact sont discutés par la communauté d'Africa Great Lakes et les plateformes partagées permettent la collaboration dans les compétences de base et nécessaires pour intégrer de nouveaux membres dans nos communautés.
Le projet atteindra diverses communautés où l'enquête préliminaire donnera un aperçu des bénéficiaires potentiels, de leur volonté de contribuer aux projets Wikimedia et de leurs lacunes en matière de compétences spécifiques.
