Hi BdNOG folks,
The ISIF Asia 2022 grants are open for applications. There have been
some great applications from Bangladesh in previous years, including
a 2021 project assisting with Internet accessibility for people
with disabilities. But there are many different areas of Internet
development that the grants support - including research,
infrastructure development and upskilling. Grants range from USD
30,000 to 150,000 and applications are due by May 15.
See below for more info.
Thanks,
David Dawson

________________________________________________________________________
Applications are now open for the 2022 Information Society Innovation
Fund (ISIF Asia) grants cycle.
ISIF Asia empowers organizations across the Asia Pacific region
to research, design, and implement Internet-based solutions to solve
Internet development challenges that support community development and
growth.
Applications are open to public and private sector organizations,
academia, non-profits, and social enterprise organizations.
There are three thematic areas:
-Inclusion: Initiatives that help ensure everyone has meaningful
access to the Internet, online applications and services
-Infrastructure: Initiatives to increase Internet speed, reduce
maintenance and operational costs, and improve reliability and/or
security
-Knowledge: Initiatives that develop technical capacity and/or
research around Internet network operations for technical and
non-technical audiences
In 2022, ISIF Asia will also include grants across all three programs
to support innovative solutions to the environmental impact of the
Internet. The Ian Peter Grants for Internet and the Environment will
be made to commemorate the life and work of Ian Peter, Internet pioneer
and environmental activist.

In addition, three small grants (USD 30,000 each) will be made available
across any program area to economies that have not previously received
ISIF Asia grants. A full list of economies that ISIF Asia has supported
is available at ISIF Asia.
