Wikipedia is one of the most used and spread free online sources for information in Uganda. There are, however, large gaps in the information available, especially when it comes to women and female leadership. We want to enable Ugandans to take part in the production and dissemination of knowledge, especially around women and female leadership, on English and Luganda Wikipedia. This is to be done through the development of educational material and dedicated training and workshops.

Indicators

• One toolbox with key information is available in English and Luganda.
• 120 girls or women trained on how they can best use Wikipedia and how they can contribute to Wikipedia themselves.
• 50 Wikipedia articles created or improved on prominent female leaders in English. This will create awareness and reduce the knowledge gap of the achievements of women in Uganda. It will also simplify translation to other local and regional languages
• 50 articles created or improved on prominent female leaders in Luganda. This will increase the usefulness of Luganda Wikipedia and help to increase both usage and contributions to the content.
• 10 articles about democratic topics, supporting the content in the biographies, will be enhanced on Wikipedia.
• 150,000 views of these articles per year following the project’s finalization (approximated based on the numbers gained during the last month of the project).
• A detailed plan for how regional Wikimedia education centers in Uganda could be established is prepared and initial testing has been conducted.
