The Conservation, Food & Health Foundation Grants

 Deadline: 1 July 2015

The Conservation, Food and Health Foundation seeks to promote the conservation of natural resources, improve the production and distribution of food, and improve health in the developing world. The foundation helps build capacity within developing countries in its three areas of interest with grants that support research or projects that solve specific problems.

The foundation supports projects that demonstrate strong local leadership, promote professional development in the conservation, agricultural, and health sciences; develop the capacity of local organizations; and address a particular problem in the field. It prefers to support projects addressing under-funded issues and geographic areas.

Geographic Focus
The foundation’s geographic focus is the developing world. It prefers to support organizations located in developing countries or to developed country organizations whose activities are of direct and immediate benefit to developing countries.  The foundation does not consider the states of the former Soviet Union or former Eastern Bloc countries as within its geographic focus.

Fields of Interest
The Conservation, Food & Health Foundation supports special projects and programs of non governmental organizations in three primary fields of interest: conservation, food, and health.

The International Climate Initiative (IKI): 2016 call for proposals

For the 2016 selection procedure, project outlines must be submitted by 1 June 2015, 24:00 to the International Climate Initiative Programme Office.

On March 25 2015, the German Federal Environment Ministry opened the International Climate Initiative's 2016 call for proposals. Since 2008, the Initiative has been supporting projects in developing and emerging countries as well as countries in transition on issues such as greenhouse gas mitigation, adaptation to the impacts of climate change, conservation of biological diversity and conserving natural carbon sinks, with a focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation

There is a two-stage selection procedure. In the first stage, informative project outlines in German or English with a maximum length of six pages will be submitted and assessed. The Federal Environment Ministry will make a preliminary selection based on the amount of funding available and in consideration of the proposals' coherence in terms of foreign and development policy. In the second stage, full-length project proposals will be requested for the entire project outlines selected during the first stage.

The call is open to project proposals from Germany as well as abroad.
