Initiative underway to bring citizen media to "Foster Rising Voices in Ivory Coast, Liberia, China, Mongolia, and Yemen". The blog entry from a Rising Voices project leader reads:

"In January we received over 270 proposals from activists, bloggers, and NGO's all wanting to use citizen media tools to bring new communities - long ignored by both traditional and new media - to the conversational web. It was, by far, the highest number of proposals Rising Voices has ever received in its two-year history of supporting citizen media training projects. The growing interest in citizen media from civil society shows that we truly are undergoing a major transformation in how we inform ourselves about the rest of the world and who is able to contribute that information."
