Deadline: 05-Mar-21
The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) is pleased to invite proposals for a grant as part of its program to advance international and regional norms to protect the exercise of the freedoms of association, assembly and expression online.
In this context, ICNL is implementing the Promoting Internet Freedom in Southeast Asia (IFSEA) program, which will seek to overcome some of the restrictions to exercising fundamental freedoms on the internet in Cambodia, Myanmar and TimorLeste by combining ICNL’s legal expertise and global network with exceptional regional partners.
As part of this program, ICNL seeks to partner with a Cambodia-based organization to strengthen regional and domestic advocacy promoting internet freedoms. While the partner may engage in a variety of activities designed to meet the grant’s objective, the selected applicant will be expected to:
- Hold one “town hall” with citizens, specifically from marginalized communities, to understand how restrictions to fundamental freedoms online negatively impact people’s lives and livelihoods. The “town hall” should be a 1 or 2-day meeting, or a series of half-day/full day events in different provinces/regions.
- Assist project partners by identifying participants to attend a Regional Workshop held with parliamentarians from the target countries and APHR’s Working Group on Democracy and Fundamental Freedoms, project partners, and leading civil society organizations. The purpose of the event will be to introduce the results from the project’s baseline research and advocacy materials, as well as to strategize and share lessons learned about how to advocate for better regional and domestic protections to internet freedoms.
- Coordinate and lead efforts to contribute to upcoming Universal Period Review (UPR) reports focusing on internet freedoms.
- Contribute to other project objectives, such as, reviewing and providing input on base-line study of internet freedoms in Cambodia, toolkit for parliamentarians and other knowledge-products, and work with other subgrantees, as needed.
Funding Information
- A grant of up to $50,000 USD is available for a project.
- The project timeframe is from April 2021 – July 2022 (15 months).
Eligibility Criteria
Open to any non-profit or civil society organization registered in Cambodia. Applicants are also encouraged to form a consortium.
