Programme Awards acknowledge the remarkable
contributions ICT innovators have made to their communities by
addressing
social and development challenges using the Internet. As per the norm,
the FIRE programme Awards is
granted to initiatives already completed or in their final
implementation phase
and that are aligned with the three funding categories: ·
Innovation
on Access Provision ·
E-Development ·
Freedom
of _expression_ In addition to
selecting an awardee per category, we
have a Community Choice Award category for the best social media
campaign (the
project with the highest number of votes from the community).
This year the
community Choice Award for the project with the best social
media campaign was
not allocated. This year, the
FIRE 2013 Award did not recognise an
initiative promoting Freedom of _expression_. They will both be
back in 2014. The four (4)
awardees will receive a cash prize of
US$ 3000 and a travel grant to attend the Internet Governance
Forum (IGF)
taking place in Bali (Indonesia) from the 22nd until the 25th of
October 2013. The 2013 Awardees
will be given a great opportunity
to showcase their project, make professional contacts and
participate in
discussions about the future of the Internet. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2013
FIRE AWARDEES! For more information please visit: www.fireafrica.org and http://www.afrinic.net/multimedia/email/fire/email_oct_2013/fire.html
