Link to Registration form for Small Grants Application


As a part of the DIRECT project, Paradigm Initiative in Nigeria is carrying out an advocacy campaign that seeks to center the realities of marginalized communities and new stakeholders within data protection policies and advocacy for data rights. Towards these goals, DIRECT features a grassroots advocacy grant pool designed to provide support to diversify the organizations and perspectives working on and engaged with data protection in Nigeria.


This grants pool is targeted specifically at organizations representing marginalized or traditionally underrepresented groups. The goal of this grants-based initiative is to engage key communities to build advocacy campaigns focused on direct advocacy with policymakers, awareness raising, and the production of community-centered stories of impact that highlight the potential risks associated with weak or nonexistent data protection legislation.


Each grant will feed into Paradigm Initiative’s larger advocacy efforts under DIRECT, raising awareness about data protection and promoting policy that directly responds to and considers the needs of a diverse coalition of actors— particularly for those who normally do not have a seat at the table.
