<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span>The
FIRE
Programme encourages innovative approaches to Internet
infrastructure
development in Africa by using the small grants funding
mechanism to enable
local organisations to implement creative ICT initiatives. FIRE
programme
recipients are encouraged to share their knowledge and learned
experiences in
their local communities so that others can benefit from applying
innovative
solutions to their unique challenges.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span>A
key benefit for FIRE programme project teams is the exposure to
a wider group
of potential partners and donors, as the success of each
initiative may bring
projects to a larger scale.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span>Writing
effective
grant proposals is a critical skill for any team wishing to
bring
their initiative to the next level.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span>The
communities
located in Francophone, Lusophone, isolated and post-conflict
regions are encouraged to apply for this workshop in order to
receive support
for capacity building development to improve the quality of
future project
proposals that will be presented to potential donors, sponsors,
or investors.</span></p>
