while i am in favor to spend 150'000 cedi in ghana every year i would love
to see contributions encouraged, be it content, software or openstreetmap.
there were a couple of beautiful efforts on english wikipedia, on commons,
as well on akan wikipedia like malaria:
https://ak.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atiridii
beside the cost of internet, mobile editing is crappy enough that it blocks
new editors. sit in a university and ask 500 persons to edit an article is
much more worthwile imo than ask 20 existing editors why they do not edit
so much as they could. then we could open phabricator tickets
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ to get this fixed.

I think such a research is long overdue as it will
give insight into
editor patterns and more tailored to Ghanaian wiki community. Such insights
could be expanded to understanding other african countries.
You can read more from the link below.
Although internet connectivity/cost might seem a delimiting factor for
many when it comes to contributing to wmf sites, I believe there's more to
that, and hopefully, this research will give us eyes into such issues.

This is to notify the Usergroup (as some might
already be aware) of a
draft proposal we are working on at
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Ghana_Editor_Study>
As part of the interventions to address the low levels of participation
from our community, this proposal intends to study a cross-section of
Ghanaian Wikipedia editors to assess factors that influence their editing
patterns and seek out possible ways to increase their activity.
All of your opinions and input are most welcome.
