Most countries have some public funding available in the form of universal service/access funds or others where commercial telecommunications are supposed to subsidize areas of market failure. In many cases, such funds have piled up unused, and in others, they have been misused. The technical capacity of fund operating staff is as important as is their degree of contact with the situation on the ground. Community Networks (CNs), for their part, are often unaware of such funds. This session aims to explore how CNs can tap into such public funds if available.

La plupart des pays disposent de certains financements publics sous forme de fonds de service / d'accès universels ou d'autres où les télécommunications commerciales sont censées subventionner les zones de défaillance du marché. Dans de nombreux cas, ces fonds se sont accumulés inutilisés, et dans d'autres, ils ont été mal utilisés. La capacité technique du personnel de gestion des fonds est aussi importante que leur degré de contact avec la situation sur le terrain. Les réseaux communautaires (RCs), pour leur part, ignorent souvent l'existence de ces fonds. Cette session vise à explorer comment les RCs peuvent puiser dans ces fonds publics si disponibles. *SPEAKERS / CONFERENCIERS* *Dr. Charley Lewis*, Independent Analyst, Researcher and Educator/Analyste, chercheur et éducateur indépendant *Nthabiseng Pule*, Project and Outreach Manager for the Cybersecurity Capacity Centre for Southern Africa (C3SA)/Responsable de projet et de sensibilisation, C3SA *Victor Asante*, Senior Manager, GIFEC/Cadre supérieur, GIFEC *MODERATOR / MODÉRATRICE* *Eleanor Sarpong*, Deputy Director & Policy lead Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) *FACILITATOR / FACILITATEUR* *Verengai Mabika*, Senior Policy Advisor - Africa, Internet Society *LIVESTREAM ENGLISH http://livestream.com/internetsociety/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3 <http://livestream.com/internetsociety/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3> *(open captions) *LIVESTREAM FRANÇAIS http://livestream.com/internetsociety2/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3 <http://livestream.com/internetsociety2/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3o3TWGn <https://bit.ly/3o3TWGn>* (English closed captions, Interprète français) *REAL TIME TEXT https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC <https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC> *(English) *TWITTER #VirtualCNAfricaSummit2020 <https://bit.ly/2DYj5kh> #CommunityNetworks @internetsociety @APC_News @ISOC_Africa @ISOC_Community @ISOC_Foundation #switchiton #GrowInternet @Ellasarpong Dr Charley Lewis @ITWeb Nthabiseng Pule @C3SA_UCT Victor Asante @GIFECGhana* *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.pscp.tv/ISOC_Live/ <https://www.pscp.tv/ISOC_Live/>* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive>* *https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/live <https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/live>* *https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/live <https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/live>* *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3 <https://archive.org/details/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3>* *Permalink* https://isoc.live/13054/ - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
