As part of its Strategy, Akiba Uhaki Foundation invites applications, from community-based or serving civil society organizations, social movements, community media in East Africa, that are creatively and innovatively using ICTs or community media in advocacy work towards progressive realisation of economic, social and cultural rights in East Africa. In particular, we intend to support advocacy initiatives that are using ICTs and/or community media in dealing with worsening inequalities in the East African region:
- inequitable access to quality and affordable healthcare and education;
- increasing youth unemployment levels as well as
- violation of youth labour rights amongst poor-rural communities, women and girls from marginalized communities, ethnic minorities, youth, persons living in informal settlements, persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and/or people living with HIV/AIDs (PLWHAs).
Applications must adopt rights-based approaches with clear focus on addressing the root causes of the identified problems and have clear sustainability measures.
