Outcomes from the Parliament's collaboration and more
ByEdit-a-thon about Women in the Ivorian Parliament
As mentioned last month, a collaboration was started with the archives staff of the Parliament of Côte d'Ivoire. For the Wikimedia Community User Group of Côte d'Ivoire, the main purpose of this partnership is, on one hand, to enrich the existing article of the Ivorian parliament on Wikipedia (FR). On the other hand, a focus is set on the women caucus in the Parliament of Côte d'Ivoire. For now, their role as politicians and their actions on the field are shadowed. On November 29th, a workshop was help with the staff of the Parliament's archives. Valuable documents and data were gathered.
On that basis, the article on Women in the Ivorian Parliament could be created and edited. This article includes details concerning the number of women in every legislature of the Ivorian republic since 1966. Even though it is a draft for now, the article is expected to cover various aspects such as the key roles these women have been playing in the Parliament, their biographies, etc.
Ivorian literature, the after-brainstorming
In collaboration with Goethe-Institut, the Ivorian literature in 10 points initiative is to be launched in 2017. Prior to that, on November 11th, at the headquarters of WCUG-CI, the local User Group set up a brainstorming session for identifying the contents as well as the actions that could be carried out during this project. What started out as a project for enriching only the Bernard Dadié article on Wikipedia (FR), turned into a large-scale initiative.
