Welcome To

Wikimedia Community User Group Sudan

Isai yahai?

Wikimedia Sudan User Group is a group of Sudanese living in Sudan and in the diaspora working to help bridge the content gaps about Sudan (and broadly Africa) on the web through the largest online Encyclopedia, Wikipedia and its sister projects as well as other open projects that allow sharing and accessibility of free knowledge.

The group is leading global campaigns to help increase contents about Sudan and to change the current narrative of Sudanese being just consumers of knowledge to a new generation of knowledge/content producers.

Activities

The community will represent and extend projects of the Wikimedia Foundation through awareness drives, global campaigns, training others to contribute to the wikis and creating opportunities and networking with partners to curate Sudanese content. We emphasize on global initiatives because the basic concept behind Wikipedia is global access and the issues of Sudan are relevant not just for people in Sudan holding Sudanese nationality but for everyone who cares about global issues particularly in this era where the world is globally connected.

Objectives

Lead the creation and curation of content about Sudan
Creation of partnership with GLAM institutions to ensure maximum coverage of information from Sudan
Train and recruit volunteers for the agenda of contributing to Wikimedia Projects
Acting in the best interest of the Wikimedia movement in local initiatives and projects
Educating the masses on the need for storytelling and content creation by our people
Building the capacity of the youth on information and digital literacy skills.

isai kaamung?

Community Plan for 2021

Even though the community is just being established we think that the opportunity is there to help the community reach out to many partners who have common ground of improving rejection of Sudan Image and make more information about the country available. For 2021 the Wikimedia Sudan community will represent and extend projects of the Wikimedia Foundation through awareness drives, global campaigns, training others to contribute to the wikis and creating opportunities and networking with partners to curate Sudanese content.

We emphasize global initiatives because the basic concept behind Wikipedia is global access and the issues of Sudan are relevant not just for people in Sudan holding Sudanese nationality but for everyone who cares about global issues particularly in this era where the world is globally connected. For the coming 8 months we will be focusing on three main pillars but this does not mean that those will be the sole focus of the community as these projects are interlinked.

Another cross cutting issue will be the issue of:

Access to the internet
Open source concepts,
Digitization and freedom of panorama in Sudan.

We will be working also on

Networking and Wikimedia Sudan Community building
Capacity Building for (users and focal points)
Content Improving mainly (Wikipedia both Arabic and English, Wiki commons, Wiki data).

Wikimedia Sudan Community Structure

For the purpose of organizing the community and ensuring a structured way of getting things done. We will be employing a flat organisational structure with role allotments to ensure responsibility for each aspect of the work that has to be done towards organizing. We will also employ a flat hierarchy to ensure that decisions are made in a participatory manner.
