The African Union Civic Tech Fund (AUCTF) presents an opportunity for dynamic African initiatives to catalyse and scale their innovative civic tech solutions. If you are harnessing the power of technology to drive citizen-led transformative action across the African continent, this call is for you.
ELIGIBILITY:
Invitation is open to visionary organizations, initiatives, and projects within African countries to apply for funding.
If you are committed to leveraging technology for civic engagement, transparency, and
community-driven initiatives, this call is tailored for you. Organisations and projects led by and
addressing the challenges faced by women, youth and marginalised groups are encouraged to apply.
Projects operating from diverse locations and contexts are also encouraged to apply, to ensure a balance of representation from north, east, west, central and southern Africa.
BENEFIT:
Successful recipients of the grant call will receive up to €15000 in financial support to scale and accelerate their projects and initiatives. The AUCTF can support up to 15 organisations and initiatives. However, the selection committee reserves the right not to award all or envisaged grants. Upon receiving the funding, the second cohort will undergo capacity building and technical support, which includes training sessions to enhance digital literacy, promoting inclusivity and diversity in your
initiatives; stakeholder engagement approaches and developing advocacy strategies to influence policy at a local level.
