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.
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 headquartered and operating in Germany. Projects are to be implemented in collaboration with a maximum of two local implementing organisations in up to two selected ODA countries.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide in OECD DAC countries.
4) Budget
The funding amoun is €300,000 – €800,000. With a total funding volume of about EUR 6 million for this year’s IKI Medium Grants call it is expected to fund between eight and twelve projects.
5) Application
The call for project ideas of the IKI Medium Grants is open until 13 December 2022. 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.
