Call for participation

Dear African Wikimedians,

This year's WikiIndaba edition will take place on 3-5 November 2023 in Agadir, Morocco as a primarily hybrid event with local in-person gatherings across Africa. The organizers are providing microfunding for Wikimedia groups across the continent to organize local in-person events and community meet-ups in conjunction with the conference to be able to attend and interact virtually with live streamed and pre-recorded sessions.

Micro-grants of up to $300 will be allocated to local African communities for the occasion. The type of activity and the form it will take is at the discretion of the organizer, so don't hesitate to look at what is being done elsewhere or even innovate.

Grant applications and reports can be submitted in Arabic, French or English. The successful application may be awarded regardless of the recipient's geography (anywhere in Africa), but underrepresented communities/groups will be given more favorable consideration.

Applications should include a schedule of planned events, potential local partners, team biographies and a detailed budget. Grants will be reviewed and approved on a rolling-basis by a jury based on the quality of their proposal. Recipients will be required to sign an agreement (with grant deliverables/outcomes), provide key contact information, and banking or payment details.

The first requests will be served first, until the fund is exhausted. Once the fund is fully allocated, no applications will be considered. Therefore, requests submitted earlier are more likely than requests served later. In any case, requests will not be received after October 5, 2023.
