Dear Aminou,<br>
<br>
It is open to all African project leaders (organisation, companies,
academia, etc.) looking for funding to implement their ICT projects
in line with our funding categories (innovation on access provision,
innovative applications and services and freedom of expression).<br>
<br>
I hope I brought more clarification.<br>
<br>
Best regards.<br>
<br>

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

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"
