It's AFRINIC's grant/award program. They fund all sorts of
projects that use the Internet to solve local ICT issues. The two
community network projects mentioned are: <br>

If you recall at the last ARIN meeting we saw many of our
NARALO members comment on the ARIN Community Networks
policy

<div>I spoke with ARIN staff about their programs on community
networks today and they too are struggling with fee
structure for AFRNIC Membership from community networks.
Note they fund FIRE which has funded community networks in
Uganda and in South Africa.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps we need to ask our community to request
financial support for ARIN for community networks as well. <br>
