BEL22006-10001 - Data-driven Digital Social Innovations in Africa

Status : Close

Applicable legislation : Belgian

Description :

Enabel is organising a Call for Proposals on Data-Driven Digital Social Innovations in Africa (EUR 2.25M as parallel contribution to the Data Governance in Africa Initiative through Enabel’s Wehubit programme). This Call’s objective is to identify and support the scaling-up of data-driven DSIs implemented by public institutions, academia, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and/or Social Enterprises, in order to enhance the involvement of national and/or regional digital and data ecosystems in the development and concretisation of data use cases that aim to address societal challenges (for example bridging gender, rural/urban, connectivity and other gaps).

It will do so by providing financial support (grants up to EUR 300.000 per data-driven DSI) to a total of 7 projects (i.e. public sector, academia, CSOs, social entrepreneurs). This support will be complemented by specific capacity building activities for the identified/supported entities. By combining financial support (i.e. grants) and capacity building, the targeted entities are enabled to scale up existing (early-stage) data-driven DSIs.
