We believe that there are two main principles that underline the purpose of Wikimania since started, namely offering a bird's-eye view of Wikimedia projects and the "Wiki phenomenon", and reaching out to people, especially those outside the North American, European and Asian"center" of the Wikimedia movement we are very few Wikimedians and Wikipedians in Africa. But its our belief that the small Wikimedians  and Wikipedians of today will be big tomorrow 

Wikimania is a unique opportunity for the Wikimedian community to comprehensively review all aspects related to the Wikimedia projects. It allows Wikipedians and other Wikimedians to step outside the daily routine, learn about the overall concept of Wikimedia, understand how it influences and is being influenced by society, and how it relates to other projects and ideas. The conference allows the attendees to exchange opinions and insights, and exposes them to the work and thinking beyond the projects themselves. Arusha  as a party of  Tanzania in the African continent,  we see the Wikimania conference as an crucial event  and that is at the same time '''educational, promotional, and social'''; our planning aims to support all of these aspects and purposes. 
African scholars have been in the fore-front of '''research''' about the influence of the Internet, "Wiki culture", collaborative work and crowd sourcing on 21st century culture. Many African researchers flew across the world to attend previous Wikimanias. This is a chance to meet these leading researchers in their home base, and see recent fruits of their work. It our believed that The Wikimania conference will make them to more about Wikimedia and Wikipedia and to be enabled to enter in pages for learning and editing where they founds a need of done.    

Tanzania is the center of the Swahili-speaking community but it is also home to '''East Africans Community ''', most particularly Swahili is main language- and English-speaking. Arusha is the base of the Tanzania Rwandees…. We plan Wikimania as an outreach event aiming at increasing the number of Wikimedians and Wikipedians in Africa, this conference is a beneficiary Africans community to become IP Users. 


To increase awareness for Africans to this opportunity, we have secured sponsors for a large promotional budget (which will enable signs and large banners to be placed around the city of Arusha), and publications in various media outlets and in various languages.

Based on criticism we have read about some previous Wikimania events, we seek to strengthen the social ties and increase cooperation between Wikipedians and Wikimedians from around the world.  In order to facilitate better social connections between the attendees, we have arranged that most meals will be buffet style, served in the venue's garden, allowing '''socializing throughout the event''' (without hindering the lecture periods). The dinners will take the form of a cocktail party on the first day, and an early arrivals cocktail party the day before enabling attendees to get to know each other from the beginning of the conference. There is also a special party at the end. We have arranged for '''a 24 hour lounge''', to enable our participants wishing bon voyage into  the night.   

We believe the city of Arusha is ideal for the advancement of the targeted goal, as it has '''wonderful weather''' in the afternoon and night enabling outside garden and our special parties. The proximity of the city to various religious and historical sites lets us provide tours to the site. We see these tours as part of the social bonding activities offered to participants, allowing them to "adventure" together.

*'''APRM'''
The United Republic of [[w:Tanzania|Tanzania]] is a member state of the [[w:African Union|African Union]] (AU) this country itself was engaged in the program  of APRM. [[w:The African Peer Review Mechanism|The African Peer Review Mechanism]] was established by the declaration of the 37th Summit of the then  [[w:Organisation of African Unity|Organisation of African Unity]] held in July 2001 in [[w:Lusaka|Lusaka]], [[w:Zambia|Zambia]], and adopted a document setting out a new vision for the revival and development of Africa—which was to become known as the [[w:New Partnership for Africa's Development|New Partnership for Africa's Development]] (NEPAD).

In July 2002, the Durban AU summit supplemented NEPAD with a Declaration on Democracy, Political, Economic and Corporate Governance. According to the Declaration, states participating in NEPAD ‘believe in just, honest, transparent, accountable and participatory government and probity in public life’. Accordingly, they ‘undertake to work with renewed determination to enforce’, among other things, the rule of law; the equality of all citizens before the law; individual and collective freedoms; the right to participate in free, credible and democratic political processes; and adherence to the separation of powers, including protection for the independence of the judiciary and the effectiveness of parliaments.

The Declaration on Democracy, Political, Economic and Corporate Governance also committed participating states to establish an African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) to promote adherence to and fulfillment of its commitments. The Durban summit adopted a document setting out the stages of peer review and the principles by which the APRM should operate.

In March 2003, the NEPAD Heads of State and Government Implementation Committee, meeting in Abuja, Nigeria, adopted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the APRM. This MOU effectively operates as a treaty; it came into effect immediately with the agreement of six countries to be subject to its terms. Those countries that do not accede to the document are not subject to review.  The March 2003 meeting also adopted a set of ‘objectives, standards, criteria and indicators’ for the APRM.

The '''East African Community''' ('''EAC''') is an intergovernmental organisation comprising five countries in [[w:East Africa|East Africa]]: [[w:Burundi|Burundi]], [[w:Kenya|Kenya]], [[w:Rwanda|Rwanda]], [[w:Tanzania|Tanzania]] and [[w:Uganda|Uganda]].<ref>[[w:Joint Communiqué of the eighth Summit of EAC Heads of State]]</ref> [[w:Pierre Nkurunziza|Pierre Nkurunziza]], the President of the Republic of Burundi, is the EAC's current Chairman. The organisation was originally founded in 1967, collapsed in 1977, and was officially revived on July 7, 2000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eac.int/about-eac/quick-facts.html |title=East African Community – Quick Facts |publisher=Eac.int |date= |accessdate=2010-07-01}}</ref> In 2008, after negotiations with the [[w:Southern Africa Development Community]] (SADC) and the [[w:Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa]] (COMESA), the EAC agreed to an expanded free trade area including the member states of all three. The EAC is an integral part of the [[w:African Economic Community]].

The East African Community is a potential precursor to the establishment of the [[w:East African Federation]], a proposed [[w:federation]] of its five members into a single [[w:Sovereign state|state]]. In 2010, the EAC launched [[#Common market|its own common market]] for goods, labour and capital within the region, with the goal of a common currency by 2012 and full political federation in 2015.<ref name="reuters">{{cite news|title=FACTBOX-East African common market begins|url=http://af.reuters.com/article/kenyaNews/idAFLDE65T2AJ20100701?sp=true|accessdate={{nowrap|1 July}} 2010|newspaper=Reuters|date={{nowrap|1 July}} 2010}}</ref>

The geographical region encompassed by the EAC covers an area of {{nowrap|1.8 million}} square kilometers, with a combined population of about {{nowrap|132 million}} (July 2009 est.)<ref>East African Community Facts and Figures – 2009</ref>

===History===
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have had a history of co-operation dating back to the early 20th century.  The customs union between Kenya and Uganda in 1917, which the then [[w:Tanganyika|Tanganyika]] joined in 1927, was followed by the [[w:East African High Commission|East African High Commission]] from 1948 to 1961, the [[w:East African Common Services Organization|East African Common Services Organization]] from 1961 to 1967, and then the 1967 to 1977 East African Community.<ref name="EacSite">[http://www.eac.int/history.htm From Co-operation to Community (eac.int)]{{Dead link|date=July 2010}}</ref> [[w:Burundi]] and [[w:Rwanda]] joined the EAC on 6 July 2009.<ref>{{cite web |title=EAC Update E-newsletter |url=http://www.news.eac.int/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=48&Itemid=70 |work=www.eac.int |publisher=Directorate of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs |accessdate=10 December 2011}}</ref> 

Inter-territorial co-operation between the [[w:Kenya Colony|Kenya Colony]], the [[w:Uganda Protectorate|Uganda Protectorate]] and the [[w:Tanganyika Territory|Tanganyika Territory]] was first formalized in 1948 by the [[w:East African High Commission|East African High Commission]].  This provided a [[w:customs union|customs union]], a [[w:common external tariff|common external tariff]], currency and postage; and also dealt with common services in transport and communications, research and education.  Following independence, these integrated activities were reconstituted and the High Commission  was replaced by the East African Common Services Organisation, which many observers thought would lead to a political federation between the three territories. The new organisation ran into difficulties because of the lack of joint planning and fiscal policy, separate political policies and Kenya's dominant economic position. In 1967 the East African Common Services Organisation was superseded by the East African Community.  This body aimed to strengthen the ties between the members through a common market, a common customs tariff and a range of public services so as to achieve balanced economic growth within the region.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/eaf-co.html |title=East African Economic Community |publisher=Crwflags.com |date= |accessdate=2010-07-01}}</ref>

In 1977, the East African Community collapsed after ten years. Causes for the collapse included demands by Kenya for more seats than Uganda and Tanzania in decision-making organs,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ms.dk/sw22171.asp |title=– Born in anonymity |publisher=Ms.dk |date= |accessdate=2010-07-01}}</ref> disagreements with Ugandan dictator [[w:Idi Amin|Idi Amin]], and the disparate economic systems of socialism in Tanzania and capitalism in Kenya.<ref name="csmonitor_1">[http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0309/p04s01-woaf.html?s=hns East African trade zone off to creaky start], ''Christian Science Monitor'', {{nowrap|9 March}} 2006</ref> The three member states lost over sixty years of co-operation and the benefits of economies of scale, though some Kenyan government officials celebrated the collapse with champagne.<ref name="Kenya_Celebrated_Collapse">[http://allafrica.com/stories/200705170023.html We Celebrated at EAC Collapse, Says Njonjo].</ref> Each of the former member states had to embark, at great expense and at lower efficiency, upon the establishment of services and industries that had previously been provided at the Community level.{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}}

Later, Presidents [[w:Daniel arap Moi|Daniel arap Moi]] of Kenya, [[w:Ali Hassan Mwinyi|Ali Mwinyi]] of Tanzania, and [[w:Yoweri Kaguta Museveni|Yoweri Kaguta Museveni]] of Uganda signed the Treaty for East African Co-operation in Arusha, Tanzania, on {{nowrap|30 November}} 1993, and established a Tri-partite Commission for Co-operation. A process of re-integration was embarked on involving tripartite programmes of co-operation in political, economic, social and cultural fields, research and technology, defense, security, legal and judicial affairs.

The East African Community was finally revived on November 30, 1999, when the Treaty for its re-establishment was signed. It came into force on July 7, 2000, twenty-three years after the total collapse of the defunct erstwhile Community and its organs. A [[w:customs union|customs union]] was signed in March 2004 which commenced on January 1, 2005; Kenya, the region's largest exporter, continued to pay duties on goods entering the other four countries on a declining scale until 2010. A common system of [[w:tariff|tariff]]s will apply to goods imported from third-party countries.

===Political dimensions===
It is argued that key drivers for Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda are that Kenya wishes to export surplus capital, Uganda seeks an outlet for its surplus labour and Tanzania wants to realise a Pan-African vision.<ref name=ODI>David Booth, Diana Cammack, Thomas Kibua and Josaphat Kwek (2007) [http://www.odi.org.uk/resources/details.asp?id=100&title=east-african-integration-can-contribute-east-african-development East African integration: How can it contribute to East African development] [[Overseas Development Institute]]</ref> However, it is argued the commonalities go far deeper. Many of the national elites old enough to remember the former Community often share memories and a sharp sense of loss at its eventual dissolution.<ref name=ODI/> More cynically, others argue this historical ambition provides the potential for politicians to present themselves as statesmen of a higher order, as representatives of a greater regional interest.<ref name=ODI/> Furthermore, EAC institutions bring significant new powers to dispose and depose to those who serve in them.<ref name=ODI/>

Some question the extent to which the visions of a political union are shared outside the elite and the relatively elderly, further arguing the youthful mass of the population is not well informed about the process in any of the countries,<ref name=ODI/> while others point to an enhanced sense of East African identity developing from modern communications.<ref name=ODI/> Commitment to the formal EAC idea is relatively narrow, in both social and generational terms, and thus many question the timetable drawn up for the project. Fast-tracking political union was first discussed in 2004 and enjoyed a consensus on the subject among the three presidents of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.<ref name=ODI/> Thus, a high-level committee headed by Amos Wako of Kenya was commissioned to investigate the possibility of speeding up the process of integration so as to achieve political federation sooner than previously visualised.<ref name=ODI/> Yet there are concerns rapid changes would allow popular reactionary politics against the project.<ref name=ODI/> There is an argument however, that there are high costs that would be required at the beginning and that fast-tracking the project would allow the benefits to be seen earlier.<ref name=ODI/>

There remain significant political differences between the states. Museveni's success in obtaining his third-term amendment raised doubts in the other countries.<ref name=ODI/> The single-party dominance in the Tanzanian and Ugandan parliaments is unattractive to Kenyans, while Kenya's  ethnic-politics is not apparent in Tanzania.<ref name=ODI/> Rwanda has a distinctive political culture with a political elite committed to building a developmental state, partly in order to safeguard the Tutsi group against a return to ethnic violence.<ref name=ODI/>

Other problems involve states being reluctant to relinquish involvement in other regional groups, e.g. Tanzania's withdrawal from COMESA but staying within the SADC bloc for the Economic Partnership Agreement negotiations with the European Union.<ref name=ODI/> Many Tanzanians are also concerned, because creating a common market means removing obstacles to the free movement of both labour and capital.<ref name=ODI/> Free movement of labour may be perceived as highly desirable in Uganda and Kenya, and have important developmental benefits in Tanzania, however in Tanzania there is widespread resistance to the idea of ceding land rights to foreigners, including citizens of Kenya and Uganda.<ref name=ODI/>

While generally the member nations are largely in favor of the [[w:East African Federation|East African Federation]],{{Citation needed|date=December 2008}} informal polls indicate that most Tanzanians (80% of its population) have an unfavorable view.<ref>[http://allafrica.com/stories/200704290112.html allAfrica.com: Tanzania: Fast-Tracking Political Federation]</ref> Tanzania has more land than all the other EAC nations combined, and some Tanzanians fear landgrabs by the current residents of the other EAC member nations.<ref name = "Daily_News_Tz_001">[http://www.dailynews-tsn.com/page.php?id=6650 EAC federation fears justified?] Tanzania's Daily News On Saturday; {{nowrap|5 May}} 2007</ref><ref Name="mt_elgon_clashes_002">[http://allafrica.com/stories/200705081059.html Kenya: Tears for Mt Elgon as Schools Re-Open]</ref><ref Name="Uganda_land_scarcity">[http://allafrica.com/stories/200705140795.html Sabiny Demand Land as Karamajong Raid Reduce]</ref> Land scarcity is a recurring issue in East Africa, particularly in Kenya, where clashes on the Kenyan side of [[w:Mount Elgon|Mount Elgon]] in 2007 left more than 150 dead and forced at least 60,000 away from their homes.<ref name="mt_elgon_clashes_001">[http://www.alertnet.org/db/crisisprofiles/KE_VIO.htm?v=at_a_glance AlertNet] Kenya land clashes kill 60, displace thousands</ref>

===Expansion===
Tanzania supports the expansion of the East African Community. In 2010, Tanzanian officials expressed interest in inviting [[w:Malawi]], the [[w:Democratic Republic of Congo|Democratic Republic of Congo]] and [[w:Zambia|Zambia]] to join the EAC, but Malawian Foreign Affairs Minister Etta Banda said there were no formal negotiations taking place concerning Malawian membership.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bnltimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2596&Itemid=26 |title=Daily Times &#124; Malawi News &#124; Sunday Times &#124; The Weekend Times |publisher=The BNL Times |date=2010-03-11 |accessdate=2010-07-01}}</ref>

[[w:Sudan|Sudan]] has applied to join the EAC, but its membership is strongly opposed by Tanzania and Uganda, which contend that due to Sudan's lack of a direct border with the EAC, its allegedly discriminatory actions toward [[w:black people|black Africans]], its record of [[w:human rights|human rights]] violations, and its history of hostilities with both Uganda and candidate country South Sudan, it is ineligible to join and its application should be thrown out.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/EAC+split+on+Khartoum+s+bid+to+join+community+/-/2558/1238324/-/1j8q1jz/-/|agency=The East African|title=EAC split on Khartoum’s bid to join community|date=18 September 2011|accessdate=18 September 2011|first=Adam|last=Ihucha}}</ref>
===Importance of the customs union===
The key aspects of the customs union include:<ref name=ODI/>
#  a Common External Tariff (CET) on imports from third countries;
# duty-free trade between the member states; and
# common customs procedures.

Different rates are applied  for raw materials (0%), intermediate products (10%) and finished goods (25%), the latter percentage is fixed as the maximum.<ref name=ODI/> This represents a significance decrease from what was previously the maximum in Kenya (35%), Tanzania (40%) and Uganda (15%).<ref name=ODI/> However, this customs union is not yet fully implemented, because there is a significant list of exclusions to the Common External Tariff and tariff-free movement of goods and services.<ref name=ODI/> Technical work is also needed to harmonise and modernise the customs procedures in the EAC's major ports of entry.<ref name=ODI/>

The expected revenue benefits are understood to be minimal by many analysts, based on comparative-static simulation exercises demonstrating the one-off impacts of the immediate introduction of the CU's full tariff package.<ref name=ODI/> The findings suggest an increase in intra-regional trade that is largely the result of trade diversion, not trade creation, with some aggregate welfare benefits in Kenya and Tanzania but welfare losses in Uganda.<ref name=ODI/> From a trade-integration perspective, the EAC may not be the best chosen unit, because the current trade between the three countries is small compared to their external trade, and the EAC's {{nowrap|105 million}} citizens do not represent a large market in global terms, given the very low average incomes.<ref name=ODI/>

===Emerging business trends===
Business leaders are far more positive than economists about the benefits of EAC integration, its customs union as a step in the process, as well as the wider integration under COMESA.<ref name=ODI/> The larger economic players  perceive long-term benefits in a progressively expanding regional market.<ref name=ODI/> Pattern of regional development are already emerging, including:<ref name=ODI/>
* Kenyan firms have successfully aligned to the lower protection afforded by the EAC CET and fears that firms would not adjust to a 25% maximum CET, or would relocate to Tanzania or Uganda  have not been realised.
* An intraregional division of labour is developing that results in basic import-processing relocating to the coast to supply the hinterland. The final stages of import-processing (especially those bulky finished goods that involve high transportation costs) and natural-resource based activities, are moving up-country and up-region, either within value chains of large companies or different segments located by firms in different countries.
* Trade in goods and services has already increased as service provision to Kenyans and Tanzanians is already important for Uganda (in education and in health). Kenya exports financial services, for example via the Kenya Commercial Bank and purchase and upgrading of local operators in Tanzania, Uganda and Sudan. Uganda hopes integration will help support its tourism potential through integration with established regional circuits.
* There are signs a business culture oriented to making profits through economics of scale and not on protectionism.

===Poverty reduction===
East African economies have large informal sectors, un-integrated with the formal economy and large business.<ref name=ODI/> The concerns of large-scale manufacturing and agro-processing concerns are not broadly shared by the bulk of available labour.<ref name=ODI/> Research suggest the promised investments on the conditions of life of the region's overwhelmingly rural poor will be slight, with the significant exception of agro-industrial firms with out-grower schemes or that otherwise contribute to the coordination of smallholder production and trade.<ref name=ODI/>

It is informal trade across borders that is most often important to rural livelihoods and a customs union is unlikely to significantly impact the barriers that this faces and taxes are still being fixed separately by countries.<ref name=ODI/> However, the introduction of one-stop border posts being introduced and the reduction in tariff barriers are coming down progressively.<ref name=ODI/>

The establishment of a common market will create both winners (numerous food producers and consumers on both sides of all borders) and losers (smugglers and the customs, police and local government officers who currently benefit from bribery at and around the borders) in the border areas.<ref name=ODI/> More substantial impact could be attained by a new generation of investments in world-market production based on the region's comparative advantages in natural resources (especially mining and agriculture) and the new tariff structure creates marginally better conditions for world-market exporters, by cheapening inputs and by reducing upward pressures on the exchange rate.<ref name=ODI/>

===Common market===

=='''Conference  Location'''==
The wikimani 2014 bid Team has chosen Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge in Arusha City to host the 10th wikimania 2014 Conference if the Jull's team decided and one of reason to choose the location is the only area where our guest can have an opportunity of discussions peacefully and comfortably. also our Conference location is center of the National Cultural heritage also has a Conference accommodating to 3000 to 7000 also has a ground flour for chartering Hall to serve the same number of attending in conference, is the area where participants can see the reasons of chooses Tanzania to be one of seven wonders in the world as Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro seen in the world. Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge is located in '''Usa River''' area and off Momella Road and about 7km South of the famous Arusha National Park gate. It is located midway between Arusha city center and Kilimanjaro International airport. The Tanzania Convention Center is easily accessible from all airports; about 30 minutes drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport and 40 minutes drive from Arusha Airport.  There is a secure valet car park which can take up to 2000 Vehicles.
*Other rooms 
Apart from public sessions, we also expect that many attending organizations, in particular local chapters, firms and the media, will be active throughout the duration of the conference. We will therefore reserve extra seminar in other rooms and reconfigure them as on-site workspace adapted to the needs of the attending organizations, such as conducting interviews, press activity, administrative work, and other backstage needs.

*Volunteers of the conference venue
The team is well-connected with the Tanzania Scout Association and during  the discussion with the SCOUT COMMISSIONER  he  agreed to  provide 200 Scout to serve to the Conference. The one coordinating the Wikimania Bid Team he currently working with the Scout  Association in the previous election of Young  African Sports Club for which they were did excellent for serving to a number of more than 3500 members attended that meeting. This idea is going to work for the first time before organizing tea was using University Students but the case is different in Arusha we want to students to concentrate  on Wikimania scholarships for their future on the growing industry of Wikimedia  

*Technical facilities
The main auditorium is equipped with a full-set of theater-standard conference equipment, including built-in cinematic projection and audition system, standard modern stage and lighting facilities. Seminar rooms are equipped with overhead and LED projectors with screens and audio system, making them ideal for presentations and discussions. Furthermore, the lecture theater are equipped with VHS and DVD players, and slide projector, in addition to the standard classroom facilities. Wired and wireless microphones are also provided on-site within the theaters. We believe that the flexibility and variety of available room sizes will meet the various desires of the presenters and attendees of each session. Although firm booking of the rooms for our proposed dates of Wikimania 2014 will only be available from January 2014 onward, once our bid is successful we will negotiate with the Makumira University management to make our bookings a to all students interested to the Wikimania 2014, and ensure that plenty of rooms will be available during the conference.

*Wireless network availability
The whole compound  is covered by a built-in CYBER NET WI-Fi system which is operated by the biggest Internet in Arusha. We will seek for a sponsorship from local telecoms companies, to provide extra bandwidth and routers for parts the venue and accommodation where existing infrastructure is inadequate.
*'''Socializing areas'''

The Tanzania Convention Center has an open-air area outside of the Conference, with full green environment and we intend to configure this area into a combination of open-space seating, Cultural exhibition and related activities. The Tanzania Convention Center has an area of about 140 acres  and can accommodate 20,000 visitors at a time,
*'''Distance to the Conference'''
From Kilimanjaro International Airport is about 24km to Ngurdoto and 45km to the City center, 35km to Moshi Town there wouldn't any arrangement of transport from Moshi to Ngordoto or Moshi to Arusha City center. The arrangement will be set on to all those participants get not a connection to Kilimanjaro would land to the Julius Nyerere International Airport at any time of the 2nd of August 2014

===The Conference Speakers===

The possibility of holding Wikimania conference in Arusha it simplifying the circumstances  of getting keynote speakers and presenters that might already be in Arusha, and the neighbor cities, and other from African content willing to come to Arusha and from anywhere in the world.  we also intend to invite Government Departments; academicians; major Media Groups; Politicians; Nongovernmental Organizations, IP consultants and Authors.  A majority of Keynote Speakers from the East African Community, it's generally not very difficult for those who would be otherwise unable to clear their schedules for travel to stop by a local event to give an inspiring and motivating talk.  The bid team plans to invite the guest of honor to be the Presidents of East African Community. we believe that the President of the United Republic of Tanzania His Excellence Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete shall be in position of inviting his Presidency mates  to the conference to share experience with Wikimedians Community we also plan on the date of closing to Invite his Excellency John Drama Mahama President of Republic of Ghana for appreciations of the First President of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah one of the hero's of Africa.

While in the Land of Kilimanjaro you'll be interested to visit of our National parks like with historical based on fossil evidence found at the [[w:Olduvai Gorge|Olduvai Gorge]], various [[w:Chominl|Chominl]] species have occupied the area for 3 million years.

Hunter-gatherers were replaced by [[w:Pastoralism|pastoralist]]s a few thousand years ago.{{fact|date=January 2013}} The [[w:Mbulu|Mbulu]]<ref>[http://www.ntz.info/gen/n00392.html "Mbulu", ''Information about northern Tanzania: a personal scrapbook of "cuttings" from published sources'']</ref> came to the area about 2,000 years ago and were joined by the [[w:Datooga people|Datooga]] around the year 1700{{fact|date=January 2013}} Both groups were driven from the area by the [[w:Maasai people|Masai]] in the 1800s.<ref name="Bradt">''Northern Tanzania: The Bradt Safari Guide with Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar'', authored by Phillip Briggs, 2006, pages 197, 198 ISBN 1-84162-146-3</ref>

Massive fig trees in the northwest of the Lerai Forest are sacred to the Masai and the Datooga. Some of them may have been planted on the grave of a Datago leader who died in battle with the Masai around 1840.<ref>[http://www.ntz.info/gen/b00039.html#id00540 Excerpt from ''Ngorongoro Conservation Area'', authored by Jeannette Hanby & David Bygott, ''Information about northern Tanzania: a personal scrapbook of "cuttings" from published sources'']</ref>

No Europeans are known to have set foot in the [https://www.earthlifeexpeditions.com/visiting-ngorongoro-crater/ Ngorongoro Crater] until 1892, when it was visited by [[w:Oscar Baumann|Oscar Baumann]]. Two German brothers farmed in the crater until the outbreak of [[w:World War I|World War I]], after leasing the land from the administration of [[w:German East Africa]]. The brothers regularly organized shooting parties to entertain their German friends. They also attempted to drive the wildebeest herds out of the crater.<ref name="Bradt"/><ref name="Ref-1">[http://books.google.com/books/about/Africa_s_Great_Rift_Valley.html?id=gtAVAQAAIAAJ ''Africa's Great Rift Valley'', authored by Nigel Pavitt, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, 2001, pages 135-139, ISBN 0-8109-0602-3]</ref>

The Ngorongoro area originally was part of the [[W:Serengeti National Park|Serengeti National Park]] when it was created by the British in 1951. Masai continued to live in the newly created park until 1959, when repeated conflicts with park authorities over land use led the British to evict them to the newly declared [[w:Ngororo Conservation|Ngorongoro Conservation]] Area (NCA).<ref name="natgeo">{{cite web | url=http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0602/feature1/text4.html | title=Heartbreak on the Serengeti | accessdate=2008-02-21 | author=Robert M. Poole | work=[[w:National Geographic (magazine)|National Geographic]] | page=4}}</ref>

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority is the governing body regulating use and access to the NCA. The area became a [[w:UNESCO|UNESCO]] [[w:World Heritage Site|World Heritage Site]] in 1979.

Land in the conservation area is multi-use and unique because it is the only conservation area in Tanzania that protects wildlife while allowing human habitation. Land use is controlled to prevent negative effects on the wildlife population. For example, cultivation is prohibited at all but subsistence levels.

The area is part of the [[w:Serengeti|Serengeti]] [[w:ecosystem|ecosystem]] and, to the northwest, adjoins the [[w:Serengeti National Park|Serengeti National Park]] and is contiguous with the southern Serengeti plains. These plains also extend to the north into unprotected Loliondo division and are kept open to wildlife  through [[w:transhumance|transhumance]] pastoralism practiced by the Masai. The south and west of the area are volcanic highlands, including the famous Ngorongoro Crater and the lesser known Empakaa Crateri. The southern and eastern boundaries are approximately defined by the rim of the [[w:East African Rift|East African Rift]] wall, which also prevents animal migration in these directions.

The annual [[w:ungulate|ungulate]] migration passes through the NCA, with [[w:wildebeest|wildebeest]] and [[w:zebra|zebra]] moving south into the area in December and moving north in June. This movement changes seasonally with the rains, but the migration will traverse almost the entire plains in search of food. The NCA has a healthy resident population of most species of wildlife: in particular, the Ndutu Lake area to the west has strong [[w:cheetah|cheetah]] and [[w:lion|lion]] populations.

===Wildlife===
A population of approximately 25,000 large animals, largely [[w:ungulate|ungulate]]s along with reputedly the highest density of mammalian predators in Africa,{{fact|date=January 2013}} lives in the Ngorongoro Crater. Large animals in the crater include the [[w:black rhinoceros|black rhinoceros]], the local population of which declined from about 108 in 1964-66 to between 11-14 in 1995, and the [[w:hippopotamus|hippopotamus]], which is very uncommon in the area.{{fact|date=January 2013}} There also are many other ungulates: the [[w:Blue Wildebeest|wildebeest]] (7,000 estimated in 1994), the [[w:zebra|zebra]] (4,000), the [[w:Common Eland|Common Eland]], and Grant's and Thompson's [[w:gazelle|gazelle]]s (3,000).{{fact|date=January 2013}}

The crater has one of the densest known population of [[w:lion|lion]]s,<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/craterlions/html/crater.html "The Crater Lions'', ''Nature'', United States Public Broadcasting System]</ref> numbering 62 in 2001.{{fact|date=January 2013}} On the crater rim are [[w:leopard|leopard]]s, [[w:elephant|elephant]]s&nbsp;&ndash; numbering 42 in 1987 but only 29 in 1992&nbsp;&ndash;{{fact|date=January 2013}} [[w:mountain reedbuck|mountain reedbuck]], and [[w:Cape Buffalo|Cape buffalo]] (4,000 in 1994).{{fact|date=January 2013}} A large lake in the middle of the crater is inhabited by hundreds of [[w:flamingoes|flamingoes]], and from a distance, they appear as a pink border of the lake.  

Since the 1980s, the crater's wildebeest population has fallen by a quarter to about 19,000 and the numbers of eland and Thomson's gazelle also have declined while the buffalo population has increased greatly, probably due to the long prevention of fire which favors high-fibrous grasses over shorter, less fibrous types.{{fact|date=January 2013}}

In summer, enormous numbers of Serengeti migrants pass through the plains of the reserve, including 1.7 million wildebeest, 260,000 zebra, and 470,000 gazelles. [[w:Waterbuck|Waterbuck]] occur mainly near Lerai Forest; [[w:serval|serval]]s occur widely in the crater and on the plains to the west.{{fact|date=January 2013}} Common in the reserve are lions, [[w:hartebeest|hartebeest]], [[w:spotted hyena|spotted hyena]]s, and [[w:jackal|jackal]]s. [[w:Cheetah|Cheetah]]s, although common in the reserve, are scarce in the crater itself.{{fact|date=January 2013}} The [[w:African Wild Dog|African Wild Dog]] has recently{{when|date=May 2011}} disappeared from the crater and may have declined elsewhere in the NCA.{{fact|date=January 2013}}

===Ngorongoro Crater===
The main feature of the NCA is the '''Ngorongoro Crater''', a large, unbroken, unfolded volcanic [[w:caldera|caldera]]. The crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago, is {{convert|610|m|abbr=on}} deep and its floor covers {{convert|260|km2|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Ref-1"/> Estimates of the height of the original volcano range from fifteen to nineteen thousand feet (4500 to 5800 metres) high.<ref>Africa's Great Rift Valley. Nigel Pavitt. 2001. page 135. Harry N. Abrams, Incorporated, New York ISBN 0-8109-0602-3</ref><ref>Northern Tanzania with Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. Phillip Briggs. 2006. page 197. ISBN 1-84162-146-3</ref>

Although thought of as "a natural enclosure" for a very wide variety of wildlife, up to 20 percent or more of the wildebeest (''Connochaetes taurinus'') and half the zebra (''Equus burchelli'') populations vacate the Crater in the wet season. However, a side effect of this enclosure is that the population of Ngorongoro lions is significantly inbred, with many genetic problems passed from generation to generation. This is due to the very small amount of new bloodlines that enter the local gene pool, as very few migrating male lions enter the crater from the outside. Those who do enter the crater are often prevented from contributing to the gene pool by the crater's male lions, who, because of their large size (the result of an abundant and constant food source), easily expel any outside competitors.

Animal populations in the crater include most of the species found in [[w:East Africa|East Africa]], but there are no [[w:impala|impala]]s (''Aepyceros melampus''), [[w:topi|topi]]s (''Damaliscus lunatus''), [[w:oribi|oribi]]s (''Ourebia oribi''), [[w:giraffe|giraffe]]s (''Giraffa camelopardalis''), or [[w:crocodile|crocodile]]s (''Crocodylus niloticus'').<ref name="elsevier">[http://www.rarespecies.org/crater.pdf "Downward trends in Ngorongoro Crater ungulate populations 1986–2005: Conservation concerns and the need for ecological research", ''Biological Conservation'', authored by R. D. Estesa, J. L. Atwood, and A. B. Estes, 2006, page 107]</ref>

The crater highlands on the side facing the easterly trade winds receives 800&ndash;1200&nbsp;mm of rain a year and is covered largely in [[w:montane forest|montane forest]], while the less-steep west wall receives only 400&ndash;600&nbsp;mm; this side is grassland and bushland dotted with ''[[w:Euphorbia bussei|Euphorbia bussei]]'' trees. The crater floor is mostly open grassland with two small wooded areas dominated by ''[[w:Acacia xanthophloea|Acacia xanthophloea]]''.<ref name="elsevier"/>

The Munge Stream drains Olmoti Crater to the north, and is the main water source draining into the seasonal [[w:salt lake|salt lake]] in the center of the crater. This lake is known by two names: ''Makat'' as the Maasai called it, meaning salt; and ''Magadi''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.utalii.com/Ngorongoro/Lakes_in_Ngorongoro.htm|title=Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Lakes Within The Area|accessdate=2008-02-21|date=2006-09-02|publisher=Utali Safari}}</ref> The Lerai Stream drains the humid forests to the south of the Crater, and it feeds the Lerai Forest on the crater floor - when there is enough rain, the Lerai drains into Lake Magadi as well. Extraction of water by lodges and NCA headquarters reduces the amount of water entering Lerai by around 25%.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zgf.de/mitarbeiterbereich/pdf/NgorongoroBlackRhinoWorkshopl.pdf |title=Management of Black Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater|publisher=[[w:African Wildlife Foundation|African Wildlife Foundation]]|accessdate=2008-02-21|date=2003-09-04 |format=PDF}}</ref>

The other major water source in the crater is the Ngoitokitok Spring, near the eastern crater wall. There is a picnic site here open to tourists and a huge swamp fed by the spring, and the area is inhabited by hippopotamus, elephants, lions, and many others. Many other small springs can be found around the crater's floor, and these are important water supplies for the animals and local [[w:Maasai|Masaai]], especially during times of drought.

Aside from herds of [[w:zebra|zebra]], [[w:gazelle|zebra]], and [[w:wildebeest|wildebeest]], the crater is home to the "[[w:Big Five Game|big five Game]]" of [[w:rhinoceros|rhinoceros]], [[w:lion|lion]], [[w:leopard|leopard]], [[w:elephant|elephant]], and [[w:African Buffalo|African buffalo]]. The crater plays host to almost every individual species of wildlife in East Africa, with an estimated 25&thinsp;000 animals within the crater.

Following the recommendations of the ''ad hoc'' committee of scientists convened after the 2000 drought, an ecological burning program was implemented in the crater, which entails annual or biannual controlled burns of up to 20 percent of the grasslands.<ref>[http://www.rarespecies.org/crater.pdf "Downward trends in Ngorongoro Crater ungulate populations 1986–2005: Conservation concerns and the need for ecological research", ''Biological Conservation'', authored by R. D. Estesa, J. L. Atwood, and A. B. Estes, 2006, pages 116-7]</ref> Maasai are now permitted to graze their cattle within the crater, but must enter and exit daily.<ref name="natgeo"/>
{{wide image|Inside Ngorongoro crater.jpg|1500px|Due to the variety of animals present, the crater is a well known tourist attraction. Tourists looking at the animals and scenery inside the crater}}

===Lion population fluctuations===

Drought in 1961 and rains throughout the 1962 dry season caused a massive build-up of ''[[w:Stomoxys calcitrans|Stomoxys calcitrans]]'' biting flies by May 1962. They drained blood and caused painful skin sores that became infected, causing lion numbers to crash for several years. It was estimated that Ngorongoro's population of at least seventy lions had been reduced to about ten. Drought in 2000 and rain throughout the 2001 dry season caused another plague of the flies, with similar results.<ref>[http://www.ntz.info/gen/n01144.html "Stomoxys", ''Information about northern Tanzania: a personal scrapbook of "cuttings" from published sources'']]</ref>

Additionally, lion numbers declined over a decade from 80 to approximately 30 in 1997 and 2003.<ref>[http://www.rarespecies.org/crater.pdf "Downward trends in Ngorongoro Crater ungulate populations 1986–2005: Conservation concerns and the need for ecological research", ''Biological Conservation'', authored by R. D. Estesa, J. L. Atwood, and A. B. Estes, 2006, page 108]</ref>

===Olduvai Gorge===

{{Main|Olduvai Gorge}}

The conservation area also protects [[w:Olduvai Gorge|Olduvai Gorge]], situated in the plains area. It is considered to be the seat of humanity after the discovery of the earliest known specimens of the human genus, ''[[w:Homo habilis|Homo habilis]] '' as well as early [[w:hominidae|hominidae]], such as ''[[w:Paranthropus boisei|Paranthropus boisei]]''.

The Olduvai Gorge or Oldupai Gorge is a steep-sided ravine in the [[w:East African Rift|Great Rift Valley]], which stretches along eastern Africa. Olduvai is in the eastern [[w:Serengeti|Serengeti]] Plains in northern [[w:Tanzania|Tanzania]] and is about 30 miles long. It lies in the rain shadow of the Ngorongoro highlands and is the driest part of the region.<ref>Africa's Great Rift Valley. Nigel Pavitt. 2001. pages 138. Harry N. Abrams, Incorporated, New York ISBN 0-8109-0602-3</ref> The gorge is named after 'Oldupaai', the [[w:Maasai language|Maasai]] word for the wild sisal plant, ''[[w:Sansevieria ehrenbergii|Sansevieria ehrenbergii]]''.

It is one of the most important [[w:prehistoric|prehistoric]] sites in the world and research there has been instrumental in furthering understanding of early [[w:human evolution|human evolution]]. Excavation work there was pioneered by [[w:Mary Leakey|MaryLeakey]] and [[w:Louis Leakey|Louis Leakey]] in the 1950's and is continued today by their family. Some believe that millions of years ago, the site was that of a large lake, the shores of which were covered with successive deposits of [[w:volcanic ash|volcanic ash]]. Around 500,000 years ago [[w:seismic|seismic]] activity diverted a nearby stream which began to cut down into the sediments, revealing seven main layers in the walls of the gorge.

=='''Non-WIKI Related Reasons to meet in Arusha City'''==
[[File:Lioness-in-the-Serengeti.JPG|thumb|right| Lioness on a Kopjes, or rock outcropping]]
We need education on implementing the Wikimedia Projects as a basic foundation, if all Africans have a foundation this means the World have a foundation, it's now a time to express our visions to Wikimedia  because we need it to be active in our continent, that's why we engaged on it, every body has seen other contestants withdrawing their bids, it's very important to think not only to guess without founding reason.  This is the burden of Wikimedia Foundation to expand it's project or to demoralize it self, it's also to find reasons of up and down to participants as explained here below  it will support and helps this free opportunity of education access, which is in line with the message of wiki projects. Symbolically, hosting Wikimania 2014 in Arusha,Tanzania regardless of experience or inexperienced hooping the Jury's  would help to show the reality that Wikipedia stands for all in pursuing of knowledge and making a move together.
*'''Why this table below'''
With experience we have, if Arusha get this opportunity for sure Wikimedia Foundation will be anxious to meet in Africa hopefully the next bid race will be very turf. Also this will change a mentality that Wikimedia projects was set to every body regardless color, tribalism or religions and attending capacity will up forever

=='''The Conference Structure'''==
=='''Self evaluation'''==
#:Arusha is a city where all the business of the East African Community is  based, all the people from  the country members  are welcome to visit without threat or worry about the possibility of 'issues' with the local population, Immigration officers, police, Militias, Defense forces  or security Company services. Arusha is the most cosmopolitan city in the world with every nationality, culture and language represented in our schools and everyday lives, 
#:Arusha is the cultural City and tourism from all over the world through the Kilimanjaro international airport which is 30 kilometers from the Arusha City  Centre, also there is Arusha airport used by tourist , the proposed  Wikimania venue is one the coolest in the world and many International events are now held even a number of Presidents are accommodated there . And that multiplicity of travel routes to Arusha VIA Dar es Salaam usually means cheaper prices from the competition, indeed our checking of flight prices has shown we are the cheapest destination from just about everywhere. 
#:Arusha itself has excellent local transport connections to the Conference venue by road and there is a number business men run a free drive cars where you can hire  for your visit in the conference and  the venue can be reached in half and hour from Kilimanjaro international Airport airports.
#:Coming to Wikimania is not just about sharing our thoughts and ideas about Wikimedia, Wikinews, Wikisource, Wiktionary and the other projects in every language, but also to meet other editors socially and to have a brief visit to a new place at the same time. Wikimania Arusha 2014 will not only provide facilities 'on campus' throughout the conference for these to happen but will also encourage visitors to take in the sights, the history of our National resources, fine arts ans many more about culture  of Arusha and the nightlife
#:The Wikimania 2014 if Arusha Chosen it bring together a number of students from our African Universities to learn more about Wikimedia Projects and then to get a number of African Editors insisted of the situation as its
==Conference Structure==

====Weaknesses of the proposed location====
:::: ...and how to overcome those weaknesses
# '''Expense''' - Arusha can be an expensive city on transport to all participants who will decided to book in the hotels out of located by the organizers, with all those intending to visit our national parks.
#:: '''Proposed solution''' - Attempt to have whatever we can subsidized by our sponsors, all Hotels located by the organizers there will have special buses from the hotels to and from the conference venue . 
#:’’’Accommodation’’’  To be sure of the secure of our participants all the hotels selected to accommodate  the Wikimania participants will issue two guide  to every hotel selected.  
#::'''Food''' Around the Ngurdoto Mountain lodge  there are a mixture of expensive and cheap eating places and a wide range of cuisine at competitive prices we mean to compare with other cities of Tanzania but normally dinner plays to $1 up to $10. We will issue attendees with a guide (in collaboration with Travelwiki?).
#::'''Museums and galleries and monuments''' State and municipal Museums and galleries are mostly charging very small amount and for privately run commercial attractions, We should be able to get complimentary for  these to give to attendees.
#::Wikimania is as big as we dare make it. We have enough media contacts and PR resources that we could publicize this extremely well, especially within e.g. the tech community. As long as we are clear what we aim to get out of the coverage surrounding the conference, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to achieve those goals.
#:: Give attendees the option, when registering online, to book on the hotels selected by the organizers for security purposes as we intend to host the historical Conference since the beginning of the Wikimania in  2005
