Dear Colleagues,


The African Network Information Centre – AFRINIC announces the call for entries for the 2013-2014 FIRE Grants.

 

The Fund for Internet Research and Education (FIRE)  programme aims at encouraging ICT development innovations that contribute to sustainable growth in Africa.

 

The FIRE Programme gives grants amounting up to USD 10 000 to projects that will be implemented in the Africa region within a 3 to 12 month period.

 

The FIRE Programme invites African organisations, entrepreneurs and innovators to propose projects under one of three categories which include:

 

1) Innovation on Access provision: fostering ICT growth in Africa by ensuring that the delivery mechanism is available, reliable and scalable;

2) E-development: the development, deployment and enhancement of content, applications and solutions.

3) Freedom of Expression: initiatives related to freedom of expression, freedom of association, privacy, security, consumer's rights, new forms of intellectual property in the digital environment, and a wider range of issues      related to Internet and human rights.

The registration deadline for the 2013-2014 Grants has been set for 30 September 2013.

 
For detailed information on the categories, conditions of entry and submission procedures, please visit www.fireafrica.org or send us an email on: firep...@afrinic.net.


Regards,


The FIRE Programme secretariat
