CEMCA promotes research on use of information and communication technologies through appropriate funding, training and capacity building of researchers. Research proposals are invited from interested scholars and researchers within the scope of CEMCA's mandate throughout the year for consideration. The institution of the principal investigator should duly forward the proposal.
