Wikimedians of Cameroon User Group is a Wikimedia User Group (UG) that has the goal of supporting Wikimedia projects in Cameroon, supporting Cameroonian Wikimedians, and becoming the recognised chapter in Cameroon.

Purpose of the User Group

Note: We are a Wikimedia User Group, and not the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia or Wikipedia. We are a group of volunteers helping to reach out to our community members and make them aware of the activities happening in the Wikimedia movement. This is to ease communication.

Below is our objectives and will be added over time as the group expands;

  • Promote the use of Wikimedia products in Cameroon and installation of MediaWiki software if need be in various locations. Also, promoting the use of Wikipedia in research institutions, such that they can get information anytime and anywhere when need arises. In general, creating massive awareness of Wikimedia and its projects in the Country.
  • Sensitising the Cameroon community about opportunities in the Wikimedia movement such as : Job Opportunities, Outreach programs, GSoC program, Conferences, Hackathons, GCI for secondary school students and more Wikimedia related activities to promote the movement in Cameroon.
  • Organise events in which volunteers will add more content to Wikimedia projects such as; Photowalks, Hackathons, Edit-a-thons, Writing Contests, etc. All these activities will be carried out by the User Group in order to fill the gap and document Cameroon content on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

Objectives

  • Build a strong team of developers to contribute to Wikimedia related projects including and especially MediaWiki. This team members and interested parties could be responsible for fixing bugs, building new products and improvement on the MediaWiki software, its extensions and other Wikimedia projects.
  • Building a team of volunteers and interested persons to write articles (ranging from 100 – 10000 words) about Cameroon-related content.This will be achieved through Edit-a-thons to edit articles, improve existing articles, and more activities to make information related to Cameroon and Africa as a whole up to date on Wikipedia.
  • Promoting Wikimedia projects and free content in general and to encourage the use of Wikimedia resources in education (primary, secondary and tertiary levels).
  • Organisation of conventions, conferences, meetings, workshops, etc.

Events and Projects

Annual Programmes

Since 2002, the WCUG has received annual funding for the organisation of its various activities.

Since the User Group's new operating model was validated, it has already been involved in two programmes.

Reviving Wikimedians of Cameroon User Group

With annual funding of nearly 40 million FXAF from the Wikimedia Foundation, this first global programme has mainly consisted of implementing projects to raise awareness, recruit new members, build the capacity of former volunteers, participate in various international competitions and campaigns, and strengthen Cameroon's presence at international meetings. Originally scheduled to run from July 2022 to June 2023, the programme was finally extended to run from July 2022 to June 2024.

Wiki Cameroun Tour

This is the User Group's second global programme, which receives annual funding of almost XAF 18 million from the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wiki Cameroun Tour was launched on 1 July 2024 and will run until 30 June 2025. With this programme, the User Group intends to build on the expertise of its contributing members, boost the recruitment of new volunteers, implement projects specific to Cameroon and establish its participation in international campaigns and events.
