Dear Colleagues,
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.
