[governance] Fwd: IGF Academy announces fellows, commences work to build successful NRIs

Wed Sep 14 03:52:13 EDT 2016

Oh, ok you were talking about an additional project? So this means we would
have at least 6 to 7 different initiatives to bring more people to the IGF.
This is great!
Afaik we have:
1- ICANN fellowships
2- ISOC fellowships (Ambassador program)
3- regional IG grants (I think the LAC region has one right?)
4- global partners just launched an initiative this year
5- also Marilyn Cade is trying to get a fellowship for NRI organisators
6- our initiative (the IGF Academy)

They all have different deadlines. Does anyone know of more? I think it
would be great to have a calendar and remind everyone to spread the word
among our networks.
Yes please Arsene, keep us posted. This is great news.
Kind regards
Lorena

>> Dear Arsène,
>> many thanks. Yes, I hope that all initiatives together can really make a
>> difference a bring a more balanced participation at the global level
>> offering more possibilities and access to so many people wanting to be part
>> of the community but lacking funds, a network, etc
>> It would be great if we could list them all and indicate the approaches
>> and deadlines for the calls for fellowships (if known). This could help to
>> spread the word with enough time within our networks. Do we have a
>> possibility to do this in a website actually?

>>> IGF Academy, a new initiative aiming to foster freedom of expression by
>>> strengthening Internet governance structures, has announced its fellows.
>>> Initiated by German NGO iRights and funded by the German Ministry of
>>> Economic Cooperation and Development, IGF Academy partners with APC and
>>> LIRNEasia to provide support to 16 fellows from Africa and Asia for
>>> building or enhancing their nation’s IG infrastructures.
>>>
>>> IGF Academy kicked off in August with two regional workshops. Fellows
>>> from Congo (Brazzaville), Namibia, Togo and South Africa met in
>>> Johannesburg, their colleagues from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and Sri
>>> Lanka convened in Colombo. Short biographies of the fellows can be found on
>>> IGF Academy’s website at http://igf.academy/#fellows
>>>
>>> Main goal of the workshops was for fellows to start the development of
>>> strategic roadmaps for their national IG processes and to provide fellows
>>> with a platform to collaborate with their peers. Experts provided input on
>>> IG basics, stakeholder mapping, fundraising and communications strategies,
>>> and logistics organisation.
>>>
>>> The roadmaps are focused on enhancing freedom of expression by improving
>>> the already existing Internet governance processes, or by creating such
>>> processes in the fellows’ countries. Additionally, the IGF Academy aims to
>>> strengthen ties between local and regional Internet governance stakeholders
>>> and freedom of speech experts, and to provide concrete steps for
>>> multistakeholder participation in the global United Nations IGF. The IGF
>>> Academy thus contributes to a local, (cross)regional and UN global dialogue
>>> on freedom of expression and information.
>>>
>>> “We are happy to see such a highly qualified and motivated group of
>>> experts in their respective fields take on the challenges of strengthening
>>> freedom of speech by enhancing Internet governance processes in their
>>> countries,” said Matthias Spielkamp, board member at iRights and Project
>>> Lead for IGF Academy.
>>>
>>> “The interdependence of Internet governance and media regulation is
>>> still not seen clearly in many countries, and here I am explicitly not just
>>> talking about the Global South. So I’m excited that we can provide fellows
>>> with a genuine opportunity to work on the interface of these issues, with
>>> the expectation that this in the long run will strengthen both,” adds
>>> Lorena Jaume-Palasí, senior project manager at IGF Academy.
>>>
>>> The IGF Academy will hold online meetings with the fellows as well as
>>> provide webinars to assist them with the finalization of their strategy
>>> roadmaps until the upcoming global IGF. It will support all fellows to
>>> attend the IGF, to be held from 6 to 9 December in Guadalajara, Mexico, and
>>> will organise a meeting on-site prior to the global IGF to prepare the
>>> fellows to participate in the forum.
>>>
