Dear Wikimedians,
I am glad to share with you the detailed work plan of CIS-A2K for the
period July 2014-July 2015 [1] . This work plan consists of 21 plans
across 6 verticals.
These are:
* 7 Language Area Plans
* 3 Community Strengthening Initiatives
* 8 Stand-alone Wikimedia Projects
* Creating Movement Resources
* Publicity, Research and Documentation
* General Support and Service to the Movement
The work plan includes details of aims, objectives, programme activities
and expected outcomes. Most of the language area plans were put together
in active consultation with the respective Wikimedia language
communities. Various inputs and ideas contributed, opportunities
provided, and challenges thrown at the CIS-A2K program during the last
year by the Wikimedia communities in India, our institutional partners,
Executive Committee (EC) of Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) and the
Wikimedia Foundation's Grantmaking Team have significantly informed our
work plans.
Each plan has an independent budget and is closely mapped on to the
implementation plan. An attempt is made to correlate why we are spending
a certain amount on a certain activity. Thus all these budgets are very
optimally planned and the overall budget is an assimilation. CIS-A2K
believes that this will give mission level transparency to our work and
provide a clearer structure of accountability to the movement and the
community.
Please do share your feedback and inputs on the respective plan
discussion pages. We would be glad to correct ourselves if you could
point out to any major omissions and errors in plans. We will be
approaching the FDC requesting support for this work plan [2].
Thanks,
Vishnu
(Program Director, CIS-A2K)
