All countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa, Canada and the United States; India, Philippines, Indonesia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Malaysia are eligible to apply.
The initiative enhances community efforts to establish and ensure the sustainability of Indigenous community-controlled media.
The organiser says past projects that were funded included improvements to internal organisation infrastructure, capacity building, systematization of radio and other community media management experiences, advocacy in national legislation and policies to advocate for access to Indigenous community media, and other innovative strategies that increase political and community impact.
The initiative will highly value the participation and inclusion of women, other genders, and youth as a funding priority for the projects.
