What is the problem you're trying to solve?

What problem are you trying to solve by doing this project? This problem should be small enough that you expect it to be completely or mostly resolved by the end of this project. Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.

There are 1,452 articles in Igbo Wiki as at 30 March, 2020. We have up to 1000 volunteers/contributors but less than 50 are active. They're not contributing.

We intend to close the gap between the articles and the volunteers and in the same time solve the problem of low participation of Igbo language lecturers and students in the use of Igbo Wikipedia as an online educational resource and creation of contentsin Igbo Wikipedia platform in Nigeria. What is your solution to this problem?

For the problem, you identified in the previous section, briefly describe your how you would like to address this problem. We recognize that there are many ways to solve a problem. We’d like to understand why you chose this particular solution, and why you think it is worth pursuing. Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.

We intend closing this lacuna by arranging series of workshops trainings and training for higher educational institutions in Anambra State, focusing on Igbo language department, lecturers and students. They will bec taught how to edit Igbo Wikipedia and use it as an educational resource. This will also involve them in content creation using a playway and demonstrative method Project goals

What are your goals for this project? Your goals should describe the top two or three benefits that will come out of your project. These should be benefits to the Wikimedia projects or Wikimedia communities. They should not be benefits to you individually. Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question. Increase the content in Igbo Wikipedia Improve existing content in Igbo Wikipedia Increase number of lecturers and students editing Igbo Wikipedia Increase awareness of Wikimedia and it's sister’s projects

Project impact How will you know if you have met your goals?

For each of your goals, we’d like you to answer the following questions:

During your project, what will you do to achieve this goal? (These are your outputs.) Once your project is over, how will it continue to positively impact the Wikimedia community or projects? (These are your outcomes.)

For each of your answers, think about how you will capture this information. Will you capture it with a survey? With a story? Will you measure it with a number? Remember, if you plan to measure a number, you will need to set a numeric target in your proposal (i.e. 45 people, 10 articles, 100 scanned documents). Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.

1. We will organize series of training and workshops; two modules each for the teachers and students in a College of Education. 2. We will also organize a contest to add content The already trained lecturers will guide the trained students in writing allotted articles that captures the Igbo culture in the Igbo Wikipedia, the best group based on the decision of a panel wins the contest, give out grants to 2 winners to organize 14 edit-a-thons events to add content further and recruit more editors and  also supervise and monitor the edit-a-thons project.

At the end of this project, we will have more Igbo language lecturers who can edit Igbo Wikipedia, teach students how to and use it as a vital tool for learning. We will have over 50 articles (improved and added) OER(Online Educational Resources) in Igbo Wikipedia There will also be a healthy and active Igbo community in Anambra State Lecturers and students will join the Igbo User Group.
