UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), are pleased to invite applications for Digital Innovation for Development in Africa (DIDA).
This two stage GCRF call focuses on the impact and application of digital technologies for development in Africa. Stage one focusses on building Networks that bring together academics, industry, NGOs, policymakers and practitioners from Africa with UK partners.
These Networks are expected to build new relationships and stimulate novel research and innovation ideas and activities that will enable partners to apply for funding to deliver a co-developed and fully realised project in stage two. This call has three thematic areas of focus and applicants can apply to any strand.
This call will support seed funding for Networks working within the following thematic areas (more information about each is contained in the call text):
- Digital Rights
- Smart Communities
- Digital Health
