EAC RICTSP Incubator Project: Open Call for Proposals, Deadline 9 July 2007
http://www.wougnet.org/Events/projectnews07.html#RICTSP

The overall objective of the Regional ICT Support Programme (RICTSP) 
is to contribute to the Eastern and Southern Africa regional 
integration agenda through an effective and efficient Information and 
Communications Technologies (ICT) environment. The primary purpose of 
the RICTSP is to achieve a reduction in the "digital divide" by 
removing some of the constraints to the efficient use of ICT.

The EAC RICTSP Incubators Project is established to support small and 
medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and private entrepreneurs in 
initiatives where ICTs are used to boost business or which are 
regarded as ICT service businesses. The aim of the Incubators Project 
is that the entrepreneurs integrate ICT tools in their daily 
business, create new business opportunities using modern ICT solution 
or create new type of business or services using ICT as vehicle for 
the business and for cross-sectoral solutions or having impact in the 
development of the society. Special attention, although not 
exclusive, will be given to enterprises run by women.
