IKI Small Grants to Promote the Work of Small Organisations

As a primary goal project proposals have to clearly address one of the IKI funding areas:

Please note that project proposals must clearly focus on solving challenges related to climate change or nature conservation.

Proposals with another key focus will not be considered. Nevertheless, cross-cutting topics such as sustainable urban development and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) are also eligible for funding.

Proposals that include social and economic co-benefits or contribute to good governance as secondary goals are welcome.

Proposals that include the empowerment of women and address gender-specific issues (as a secondary goal) are also encouraged.

A limited number of projects which particularly address gender issues or are submitted by women’s organisations or networks will be selected.

Beyond the objectives already mentioned, this funding programme is aimed at strengthening the capacities of small national, regional or local organisations.
