Hi,

As you may already know, The Wikimedia Foundation is initiating an important, global discussion to define the Wikimedia movement’s future strategy. As part of this effort, we plan to conduct design research in Indonesia over the next couple of months. The overall research goal will be to learn how people in emerging markets seek and gain information, what kind of technology do they use (if any) in this process, and what is their access to information sources. This will help us to serve Wikimedia projects better and empower new readers in our target countries.

We have started reaching out to design research firms with a ground presence in Indonesia that can do in-depth interviews/qualitative research with people in their environment. You can find our Request for Proposal (RFP) for the research here.

Please take a look at the RFP and let us know if you have any recommendations for local design research firms that meet our requirements. You can reach us at rayyakkannu@wikimedia.org and sgupta@wikimedia.org.

Regards,
