African Technology and Transparency Initiative Call for Letters of Inquiry

ATTI supports projects that use technology as an essential component for providing people with access to credible information about government actions and influence in Africa.

Support can be for organizations that are seeking funding for the development of technology platforms used in promoting transparency and accountability or for organizations that are using technology platforms for disseminating information for the promotion of transparency and accountability.

Application procedure for funding

Step 1: Letter of Inquiry

An organization interested in applying for a grant needs first to send a brief letter of inquiry (LOI).

Please note that ATTI does not accept unsolicited grant proposals and organizations that submit unsolicited proposals will receive notification directing them to first submit a letter of inquiry.

Organizations that best match ATTI’s grant making guidelines and funding criteria will be invited to submit a full proposal. Letters of inquiry may be submitted at any time. The letter of inquiry shall be reviewed, and within 30 days, ATTI will provide its response (either declining or requesting a full proposal).

Step 2: Full proposal

A complete proposal consists of the grant application form, a project proposal narrative and a budget.

Applicants who are invited to submit proposals can do so at any time. The review board meets every quarter to make a final decision on whom to fund (typically January, April, July and October). The review process for grantees takes on average about 8 weeks. Please submit your proposal at least 8 weeks before the month in which you would like to be considered for funding (e.g. if you would like your proposal to be considered for funding in March, please submit your proposal by February 1st).

Applicants shall be notified on the status of their application within 2 weeks of the meeting of the review board.
