[kictanet] Media and Academia Fellowship Opportunities in ICT4D, OpenData, Human Rights

[Juliet Nanfuka]

Greetings all,

I trust this finds you well. I would like to bring to your attention some
opportunities we have open at CIPESA.

As part of the *CIPESA-ICT4Democracy Fellowship Programme* – we are
offering media and academia fellowships. The aim is to nurture university
students’ and early career media
<http://cipesa.org/2017/03/apply-for-the-cipesa-ict4democracy-fellowship-programme-media/>
and academics
<http://cipesa.org/2017/03/apply-for-the-cipesa-ict4democracy-fellowship-programme-academia/>’understanding
of ICT for governance, human rights and development. The programme benefits
partners of the ICT4Democracy in East Africa network through placements of
individuals with skills in fields such as ICT, mass communication, and
informatics, within the partner organisations. Ultimately, the programme
aims to grow links between the academic community and practitioners in the
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) field for mutual research,
learning and knowledge exchange, so as to create the next generation of ICT
for democracy and ICT for human rights champions and researchers.

See more about each of the fellowships below. Please note that applications
close on 1 April 2017.

experienced Project Lead to work on DATA4CHAN.GE, an initiative that aims
to build the capacity of Kenyan, Ugandan and Tanzanian human rights
organisations to collect, analyse, and visualise data.
