IKI Small Grants 6th Call open until 15 January 2025
Small organisations in ODA-eligible countries can apply for funding local climate and biodiversity action. The IKI Small Grants call for proposals is open until 15 January 2025.
IKI Small Grants launched its sixth international call for proposals on 18th November at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. This year’s international call for proposals addresses small regional, national, and local organisations based in an ODA-eligible country (except for current and potential EU member candidates except for Ukraine). They are invited to apply directly for funding of local or regional climate and biodiversity action. IKI Small Grants provides funding between 60,000 and 200,000 euros and is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Government.
Project proposals must focus on one or more of the following IKI funding areas:
- Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions
- Adaptation to the impacts of climate change
- Conserving natural carbon sinks with a focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
- Conserving biological diversity
The selected organisations are accompanied and supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, which implements the IKI Small Grants Programme on behalf of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), the Federal Foreign Office (AA), and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV).
Small-scale projects on climate and biodiversity action worldwide
Under the IKI Small Grants programme, many projects were selected in past years via international calls for proposals and funded with up to 200,000 euros each. Five calls for proposals have already been implemented, and 120 projects in over 50 countries have been selected so far.
