Description
1) Objective
Darwin Initiative Innovation is aimed at projects intending to test a novel approach that if proven could scale to deliver results for biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction. The novelty of the approach is likely to mean that the available evidence to support the innovative approach may be limited, or come from a different sector beyond biodiversity conservation and multidimensional poverty reduction. The Lead Partner should demonstrate the capability to understand and manage the resulting higher levels of risk, including operational, delivery and contextual risk, in order to test and pilot innovative ways to tackle the biodiversity conservation and multidimensional poverty reduction challenge.
Applicants with a high level of innovation are encouraged to apply. However, if there is a moderate evidence base that would support a larger project that has a good chance of delivering results, then please consider Darwin Initiative Main as an option.
Scaling: Although testing new or innovative approaches may be the focus of the grant, applicants should be capable of articulating their ambition for the innovation should it prove successful including post-project scaling.
2) Eligibility
Applications must come from an organisation(s), and not an individual. Applicant organisations can be based in any country. Lead organisations will need to demonstrate turnover over the last 2 years of at least 25% of the value of the funds requested from Darwin.
3) Location
Least Developed Countries, Other Low Income Countries, Lower Middle Income Countries and Upper Middle Income Countries are eligible.
4) Budget
Darwin Initiative Innovation will provide grants between £10,000 to £200,000 for projects lasting between 1 to 2 years maximum.
5) Application
The deadline is 21 October 2024. All applications should be submitted via the Flexi-Grant application portal.
