Civil Society
Description
Kathekon is poised to close the gap in funding for civil society organizations currently carrying on work at the grassroots level in the following thematic areas.
Thematic Areas
Free Speech - Being a fundamental right in every democratic society, our goal is to promote free speech in Nigeria. To do this, we aim to partner with organizations working to ensure that citizens have the right and opportunity to speak freely both online and offline.
Environmental protection- Kathekon seeks to help environmentalists and CSOs working in the environmental space with their work to prevent our ecosystem from further degradation.
Internet Governance- Kathekon supports the efforts of organizations focused on more inclusive and diverse participation in internet governance discussions. We prioritize organizations working at the grassroots level, especially in rural communities. A cross-cutting issue in our thematic areas is to promote the empowerment of women as well as enhancing their participation.
