    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>
