The distribution of organizational roles continued to be insufficient.
A membership recruitment campaign was not carried out. The reason was the need for better preparation - getting to know our members and community members better (this is planned to be done as part of creating the strategic plan), the need for improvements to the workflow of our membership tool and marketing funnel (to be done with the help of an invited expert thanks to Erasmus+) and the over-preoccupation of the person in charge.

'''SANO''' (Erasmus+ KA2)
* we participated in the grant as a partner
* in the case of approval of the project, our tasks will include, for example, direct paid writing of Wikipedia articles and organization of a competition in Wikimedia projects on the topic of health
'''Consideration of additional projects for individual education of ELiSo activists and adult learners, with support from Erasmus+ (KA1)'''
* due to insufficient interest and possibilities of EliSo activists, we decided in 2024 not to apply for a new similar project, and rather to firstly involve more activists
* for the same reason we decided in 2024 not to apply for accreditation for KA1
'''Considerations for other Erasmus+ collaboration projects (KA2)'''
* we considered, and discussed with potential partners, other collaboration projects, but the interest of potential partners was not sufficient
* we explored a bit the possibility of doing a project for creating a system for Global Templates (as part of our Strategically Important Work). The level of management and financing of such a project currently exceeds our capacities, so in the near future we will not be able to lead this kind of a project, but could eventually participate in it. After sufficient development of our capacities and in the event of great success in obtaining grants, we could lead such a project in several years.

<span id="Organiza_laboro"></span>
== Organisational work ==
<span id="Organiza_daŭropoveco"></span>
=== Organizational sustainability ===
In 2024 we were able to participate in a number of learning events, thanks in particular to the generous support of the European Commission's Erasmus+ programme.
<span id="Rekono_kiel_Vikimedia_Tema_organizo"></span>
=== Recognition as a Wikimedia Thematic Organisation ===
Continuation of our request from 2019. At that time, [[Special:MyLanguage/AffCom|AffCom]] did not have sufficient capacity to complete the recognition. Recognition of an organization as a Thematic Organization has 3 steps and is scheduled to take 4-6 months to complete. In our case, AffCom took 7 months and failed to complete even the 1st step, nor proactively inform us of its delay. Shortly after, AffCom put on hold our recognition process, providing various reasons on different occasions.
In 2024, we did not proactively restore the recognition process because of our busy schedule.
<span id="Disvolvo_de_infrastrukturo"></span>
===
In 2024 we worked to restore our project management tool OpenProject. It has helped us a lot in the past, but after server problems it remains unavailable. We tried to migrate our data to ''Projektoj.org'' (a new online project management tool for Esperanto community run by TEJO (World Esperanto Youth Organisation), also running on ''OpenProject''). We achieved partial, but insufficient, success, and will continue the work in 2025.
Because of our busy schedule, we were unable to handle other planned infrastructure developments.
<span id="Homaj_rimedoj"></span>
===
Due to our great busyness we were unable to continue the planned activities to develop our human resources.
<span id="Subvenciataj_projektoj_por_disvolviĝo"></span>
====
During 2024 we completed the project ''Strategic development for Wikimedia support'' supported by Erasmus+ of European Commission, which aimed to increase the capacity of our activists. Several changes occurred in the projects, in particular some planned people could no longer participate.
<span id="Membro-varba_kampanjo"></span>
===
In 2024, due to our busy schedule, the planned membership recruitment campaign did not take place. The campaign also included improvements to infrastructure, which should have helped us with recruitment.
<span id="Strategia_sinteno"></span>
===
<span id="Strategia_plano_2025-2026"></span>
====
The goal was to establish a long-term strategic committee that would lead the work on the Strategic Plan 2025-2026 during 2024 with the participation of several members and activists of EliSo and Wikimedia community members. Due to our greatly busy schedule, we were unable to start this work in 2024 and postponed the work on the plan to early 2025.
<span id="Kovilo_por_liber-kulturaj_Esperantaj_organizoj"></span>
==== Incubator for free culture Esperanto organizations ====
As we reported in the Annual plan, in order to be able to address an Incubator for free cultur Esperanto organizations, we ourselves need to achieve a higher level of organizational sustainability first. Due to our great busyness, we were unable to address this basic condition, so we did not work on the Incubator either.
<span id="Komuna_preparado_de_gravaj_dokumentoj"></span>
===
Due to our great busyness, important documents were once again prepared only by one core activist, without the participation of members, activists, and community members.
<span id="Disvolvo_de_dunga_sistemo"></span>
===
In 2024 we neither developed our employment system nor hired an employee.
<span id="Restarigo_de_subvencioj_de_la_Fondaĵo_Vikimedio"></span>
=== Restoration of Wikimedia Foundation grants ===
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has temporarily suspended grants for Michal Matúšov (current Chair) due to his unwillingness to resolve conflicts. This limits our activities and our ability to advance the Wikimedia mission and thus hurts the Wikimedia movement. In 2024, we aimed to resolve this WMF's conflict, if possible at the structural level of WMF (otherwise it could resurface in other places and times).
Grants from the Wikimedia Foundation in 2024 were not our priority, so we didn't work to restore them.
<span id="Ekologia_daŭropoveco"></span>
===
We continued our organizational habit of using mostly ground vehicles for our travels, and serving vegetarian and vegan meals.
However, we have not formalized these and other habits and practices.
<span id="Tutmonda_kalendaro"></span>
===
Because of our great busyness, we did not address the possibility of introducing a globally valid calendar.
