Impact of the project
The project's impact is measurable. The project has both short and long-term impacts. For the short impact, it will bring together editors that will improve articles related to health in Nigeria and this has started since the last project. For the long-term impact, the project aims to create an annual regional campaign that would focus on health after establishing an affiliate. Abdullahalaba (talk) 06:32, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Sustainability of project
The sustainability of the project is hinged towards the mainstreaming of the participants into the already established network of Wiki health editors in Nigeria and Wiki Project Medicine, a thematic organization responsible for curating health related articles on Wikipedia.

Rapid Fund Request : Not Funded
Hello , thanks for submitting your Rapid Fund request. We appreciate your willingness to contribute to the Wikimedia Movement.
We have completed the initial review of your application and we decided to not fund it. We made this decision considering several factors:
- Completeness of the grant application, including amount of AI generated content.
- Clear goals, objectives, and impact aligned with the requested budget, activities and metrics.
- On-wiki experience of the main applicant and the team.
- Completeness of the proposed budget, including alignment of the proposed expenses with local costs.
- Additional notes from reviewer for future applications; Budget needs to be evaluated including on areas such as T-Shirts and Caps for all participants to maximize on funds effciency. Also the internet cost of 800,000 is on the higher side and should be reduced. Lastly, the last project done hasn’t been sustainable, all the partipants from the first edition have not contributed to any health related topics after and 90% of the participants from the previous event did not even contribute to any related topics per the dashboard so for future funding requests this needs to be taken into consideration.
