Hi Winnie,
Thanks for your email.
And those on our African Telegram group have already seen my message where
I kindly request colleagues to take time and go through the draft annual
plan on meta and share your honest thoughts.
Really friends - without sounding smart or persuasive - it's very
important for the African community to be engaged in strategic
conversations and platforms like the Annual Plan Process. This is one of
the platforms where our voice gets heard!
Best regards,
Bobby Shabangu

Dear African Wikimedians, in line with the Movement
Strategy
Recommendation
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy/Recommendations>; to
ensure Equity in Decision Making
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy/Recommendations/Ensure_Equity_in_Decision-making>,
the Wikimedia foundation is inviting you to engage in our Annual Plan
process (APP) for the 2023-2024 financial year that runs from 01 July
2023 to 30 June 2024.
For the second consecutive year, the Foundation is anchoring its annual
plan in the movement's strategy to advance equity
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Equity>
.
This year's Annual Plan attempts to provide more clarity on multi-year
strategic issues and provide more information on how the Foundation
operates.
The foundation has published the draft
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Collaboration>
annual plan on meta and is inviting you to review and share your thoughts. Your
comments, questions and reflections will help improve and inform the
final content of what we have proposed to do before the Foundation’s
Board of Trustees considers the plan and budget in June.
We also have upcoming APP conversations with the community and other
stakeholders and I take this opportunity to invite you particularly to the
one happening on 27th April, 16:30-17:30 UTC (Africa, CEE, MENA). You are
however welcome to attend any of the other live calls that are convenient
for you.
