Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all well!
I am pleased to share that the *draft annual plan *
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024>of
the Wikimedia Foundation for the coming fiscal year from July 2023 to June
2024 has been published and is open for feedback.
While the entire annual plan is available in multiple languages, a short
summary
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024>
is available in close to 30 languages including many from the region.
The Foundation’s current Annual Plan is anchored in the two strategic
pillars of our movement strategy
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy>: * “knowledge equity”
and “knowledge as a service.” *
Since last year, the Foundation has prioritized two-way planning
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2022-2023/…>
with communities by asking community members to share their goals for the
coming year. This renewed approach helps us better see the shared needs,
efforts, and opportunities across communities and to identify further
collaborations that could be developed or deepened by region, by project,
or by another area of interest.
As we embark on our Annual Planning Process (APP) journey for the upcoming
year we are hosting a series of calls/discussions
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/…>
across various time zones to collaborate across the movement. For the South
Asia-friendly time zone, we are hosting the following conversations.
1. In-person session during WikiConference India,
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2023/Program> on the
28th of April with the attendees of the conference. (recording to be
uploaded on meta).
2. Virtual Discussion on the 30th of April, 2023 (0600 UTC)- Join Us!
We would like to invite you all to participate in the virtual discussion on
the 30th of April where Lisa Seitz Gruwell, Chief Advancement Officer, and
Deputy to the Chief Executive Officer
