Thanks Arsene.

Please note FIRE and ISIF grants are part of the Seed Alliance portfolio (see http://www.seedalliance.net) which is the ceremony that Arsene just mentioned. Worth reminding the group that the third member of the alliance offers similar grants for Latin America under the FRIDA program, see http://programafrida.net. Their call is also open. There were projects from the 3 regions showcased in the awards ceremony that Arsene refers to.

The Seed Alliance is a mechanism from the RIRs (APNIC, LACNIC and AFRINIC) to support internet development accross the global south. Each region has it own program

Please help us to spread the word about the FIRE, FRIDA and ISIF Asia grants.

Warm regards,

Sylvia

To my African members here,

Please consider this opportunity, also dissimulate it within your networks. The FIRE Grants are really useful and they help brings innovations to light. I attended part of their awards ceremony at IGF Brazil and I can tell you i was amazed by the projects that were selected and awarded.

This year, it is even expanding.
