Call Summary
The IKI Medium Grants funding programme 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.
The 2022 call of the IKI Medium Grants focuses on:
- Accelerating towards net-zero emissions: Empowering youth-led initiatives for climate change mitigation
- Innovative collaborations between civil society and the private sector for integrated biodiversity and climate protection
