The Mobile Citizen Program launched earlier this week, and it provides some great funding opportunities for organizations working in mobile technology throughout Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). 

The program focuses on finding citizen-centric strategies to provide mobile services for low-income areas, both urban and rural.  They express interest in creating models for implementation of mobile technology which have growth potential.  The program also seeks to support research into the social and economic impact of mobile technology on local communities. 

Human rights seems like a nebulous term. However, it is well articulated in a number of international and regional documents and as a broad definition these instruments can be thought of as guidelines for mediating between state and citizen.

In the Americas, as in other regions, there is a great corpus of treaties and jurisprudence that forms the basis for human rights law. The basic documents can be found on the website of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
