Type: Grants
Eligibility: The current call is particularly interested in proposals for work related to Covid-19 response measures, how they affect the internet rights landscape, and how to rectify any resulting harms to rights and freedoms. This effort is essential because, even in pandemic times, governments must respect rights and not abuse emergency powers. Moreover, many actors need access to credible information and research to inform their own work on awareness-raising and holding authorities to account during and in the aftermath of Covid-19.
Eligible Countries: African countries
Number of Awards: Not specified
Value of Award: Grant amounts for this round will range between USD 1,000 and USD 20,000, depending on the need and scope of the proposed intervention. The ADRF strongly encourages cost-sharing.Â
Duration of Award: The grant period will not exceed six months.
