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)
