Further to a call for proposals launched in 2005, the Bureau of the Intergovernmental Council for IFAP has received more than 500 project proposals for funding from organizations all over the world. The IFAP Special Fund, supported by voluntary contributions from UNESCO’s Member States and other donors, has allowed the Bureau to fund only a limited number of the proposals in its three priority areas, namely:

• promoting information literacy, through capacity building particularly for information professionals;
• strengthening awareness about the importance of preservation of information of all kinds; and
• promoting a better understanding of the ethical, legal and societal implications of ICTs.

In assessing the proposals and determining the project support, the IFAP bureau has established specific criteria which demonstrate IFAP’s quality processes in selecting the projects.

IFAP is an intergovernmental programme, created in 2001. It seeks to narrow the gap between the information rich and the information poor, and supports the development of common strategies, methods and tools for building an information society for all and provides a framework for international co-operation and partnerships.
