General
Omidyar Network is supporting Cities Alliance to encourage innovation in the promotion of tenure security and property rights in Africa’s informal urban settlements. Micro Funds for Community Innovation will address the nexus between the issue of property rights, Africa’s growing young population, and its capacity to innovate and deploy modern technologies. The innovation fund will be run through a micro-grant facility targeting tech-savvy entrepreneurs, micro enterprises, innovators, community-based organizations and local NGOs, and stimulate the use of simple, affordable, accessible innovations to secure property rights.
