| =Strategic Plan=
| |
| | |
| The five movement priorities hold specific opportunities and challenges for chapters:
| |
| | |
| ==Stabilize infrastructure==
| |
| | |
| Chapters provide important capacity for the movement’s work, however most are still young. The chapters will need to improve their capacity
| |
| to serve their communities at a greater scale of impact.
| |
| | |
| * Community-building activities to help reinforce social bonds.
| |
| | |
| ==Increase participation==
| |
| | |
| Chapters will continue to play an active role in
| |
| organizing and funding in-person community gatherings and in conducting outreach
| |
| programs to bring new, diverse groups to Wikimedia’s projects.
| |
| | |
| * Communications to improve the understanding of Wikimedia and engage with
| |
| and respond to media and other stakeholder inquiries.
| |
| | |
| * Outreach activities to expand and add diversity to the community of volunteers
| |
| contributing to Wikimedia projects.
| |
| | |
| * Community-building activities to help reinforce social bonds.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Improve quality==
| |
| Chapters will continue to support the work of editors and pursue
| |
| opportunities to free knowledge in their geographies for use in the projects. They also
| |
| have an important role in creating content partnerships with cultural institutions in
| |
| their geographic area.
| |
| | |
| * Communications to improve the understanding of Wikimedia and engage with
| |
| and respond to media and other stakeholder inquiries.
| |
| | |
| * Advocacy on behalf of free knowledge.
| |
| | |
| * Knowledge-creation projects to add valuable resources to Wikimedia projects.
| |
| | |
| * Partnerships development with cultural and knowledge institutions to help make knowledge free, and to help institutions contribute to Wikimedia.
| |
| | |
| ==Increase reach==
| |
| | |
| Chapters provide the local expertise, infrastructure and passion
| |
| that can help to spur project growth. As the movement focuses more energy on
| |
| the Global South, it will be valuable to build chapters in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa,
| |
| the Middle East & North Africa, and Latin America.
| |
| | |
| * Community-building activities to help reinforce social bonds.
| |
| | |
| * Knowledge-creation projects to add valuable resources to Wikimedia projects.
| |
| | |
| * Partnerships development with cultural and knowledge institutions to help make knowledge free, and to help institutions contribute to Wikimedia.
| |
| | |
| ==Encourage innovation==
| |
| | |
| Chapters should encourage innovation among the
| |
| communities they serve and experiment with new approaches to their work.
| |
| | |
| * Fundraising to support the Wikimedia Foundation’s global activities and to fund the activities of the chapter and the local community.
