The International Climate Initiative (IKI) uses finely tuned funding instruments for its projects. Competitive selection procedures IKI Large Grants, IKI Medium Grants, IKI Small Grants) are the central element here.
With the projects that emerge from these procedures, the IKI places its trust in a wide variety of implementing organisations that bring the highest quality, innovation and extensive experience in the partner countries.
The IKI also makes use of non-competitive selection procedures to set up projects for specific purposes. These include contributions to major multilateral initiatives and funds for the mobilisation of resources as well as the financing of IKI interface offices in the IKI priority countries.
The IKI Strategy 2030 provides the binding framework for the selection and thematic prioritisation of all funding instruments from 2024 onwards.
