UNESCO calls for proposals for projects to be funded by its
Information
for All Programme (IFAP), an international information society
initiative.
The goal is to support the development of common strategies,
methods, and
tools for building inclusive, open and pluralistic knowledge
societies and
for narrowing the gap between the information rich and the
information
poor. IFAP furthers UNESCO's mandate to contribute to education
for all,
to encourage the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, and to
increase the
means of communication between peoples. Proposals with budgets
ranging
from approximately US$25,000 (national projects) to US$45,000
(international projects) should cover one of three areas:
information
literacy; preservation of information; and ethical, legal, and
societal
implications of the information society. For this year, $750,000
is
available for grants.
