Calls for Applications for Diplo IG Foundation Courses: Registration now open

DiploFoundation’s 2011 foundation courses in Internet Governance and ICT are now open for applications. A call for applications for Diplo’s ACP Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Internet Governance (IG) Capacity Development Programme Foundation Course has been issued to all government and sub-regional/regional institutions of ACP countries involved in ICT and IG policy as well as civil society, business, academia, media, and other interested individuals or groups.

This 12-week online course is designed to improve ICT- and IG-related knowledge and skills for participants mainly from ACP countries and to assist them in participating in global decision-shaping debates on IG. The programme also facilitates community-building among individuals with different national, cultural, and professional backgrounds.

Complete information is available here, and is also available in this pdf: application. More information about the ACP Programme is available on Diplo’s ACP website.

In a parallel programme for applicants from non-ACP countries, DiploFoundation is currently accepting applications for the 2011 Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme (IGCBP11) Foundation Course.

Complete information is available here, and is available in this pdf: application2. Visit Diplo’s Internet governance website for more information about the IG programme.

Applications for both courses close on 12 February 2011.
