[ooni-talk] Funding opportunity - Creating Localized Internet Shutdown Resources for Sub-Saharan Africa

[Maria Xynou]

Hi friends,

Interested in creating localized internet shutdown resources for use in
Sub-Saharan Africa?

Apply now to Internews for funding:
https://internews.org/updates/small-grants-produce-localized-internet-shutdown-resources

The deadline to apply is 21st December 2020.

Through their small grants program (which offers between $1,000 and
$5,000 USD per project), Internews aim to support projects such as the
following:

* Case study research to provide best practices and recommendations on
how to respond to a shutdown

* Resources to improve advocacy approaches and outreach to relevant
stakeholders such as government bodies, ISPs, and other important actors

* Guides on using circumvention tools during shutdowns, fighting
shutdowns in courts, or measuring and documenting shutdowns

* Translations of existing resources and guides for specific contexts,
audiences, or languages

* Training curricula relevant to predicting, preventing, or responding
to an internet shutdown

Resources produced as part of these projects need to be openly available
so that they can be used by others in the internet freedom community.

Please share this opportunity with your networks!

Thanks,

Maria.
