IKI Small Grants offers project funding through yearly calls for applications in order to promote active civil society engagement and implement successful, locally tailored responses to the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss.
In addition, by using tailored strategies, it helps small implementing organizations grow their capacities and expand their professional networks. This intends to support them as change agents for local climate and biodiversity action.
