Description
1) Objective
Through thematic and country-specific selection procedures, IKI primarily funds large-volume projects that aim to accelerate the transformation to a sustainable, low-emissions economy and supply structure. However, implementing the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) also requires increasing the capacity of smaller civil society actors in developing and emerging countries as well as the effective participation of all social groups. The IKI Medium Grants funding programme therefore addresses civil society actors based in Germany that work in collaboration with local partners in selected ODA-eligible implementing countries to put measures in place to intensify North-South cooperation on climate action, adaptation to the impacts of climate change and biodiversity conservation.
The IKI Medium Grants funding programme therefore addresses civil society actors based in Germany by the time of the grant approval that work in collaboration with local partners in selected ODA-eligible implementing countries to put measures in place to intensify North-South cooperation on climate action, adaptation to the impacts of climate change and biodiversity conservation. The programme explicitly aims to strengthen civil society actors and their international networks. Specifically, IKI Medium Grants support project activities that address innovative, bottom-up contributions for implementing the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity. To achieve this, varying funding priorities are set each year, for which interested parties can apply with innovative project ideas.
The 2024 funding call focuses on the following areas:
- Promotion of ambitious participatory measures for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions
- Integrative measures for the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity in cities
2) Eligibility
Funding is available for non-profit civil society organisations (non-governmental organisations, associations, foundations, think tanks) and academic institutions (universities and research institutions), as well as non-profit companies. At the time of the first disbursement of a grant awarded, the implementing organisation is required to have a permanent business establishment, branch, or other facility serving the activities of the grant recipient in Germany. These organisations must enter into a partnership with one or two local implementing organisations based in the implementing country or region.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide in OECD DAC countries.
4) Budget
The funding amount is €300,000 – €800,000.
5) Application
The call for project ideas of the IKI Medium Grants is open until 14 January 2025. In this first selection stage, the IKI online platform is open for the submission of project outlines. Project outlines can only be submitted via the IKI online platform in English.
