About the Organization

We believe that journalism is crucial to fostering living democracies throughout Europe. We are The electrification of local public transport in Indonesia, the restoration of mangrove forests in Mexico, the replacement of oil-fired power plants with renewable energy in Egypt and the socially responsible renaturalisation of former mining regions in South Africa: these examples provide just a small insight into the enormous range of challenges that the international community must overcome if it is to achieve the global climate and biodiversity targets by 2050.

Since 2008, the German government has been promoting climate action and biodiversity conservation in the Global South through the International Climate Initiative.

About the Grant

The IKI uses thematic and country calls primarily for the funding of large-volume projects, with the aim of accelerating the transformation to a sustainable, low-emission economic and supply structure. However, implementing the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) also requires the involvement of smaller-scale civil society actors in developing and emerging countries. Since 2020, the IKI Medium Grants have been supporting these actors in various activities such as capacity building and international networking.

Specifically, the IKI Medium Grants fund project activities that address innovative, bottom-up contributions to the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity. This is achieved through annual ideas competitions with varying funding priorities, to which interested actors can apply with their innovative project ideas.

The volume of finance provided to each project by the IKI Medium Grants can vary between EUR 300,000 and EUR 800,000.

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.
