Object of Financing
The EUKI finances climate projects. Implementers must have their official office in an EU member state or be registered there. In accordance with the regional focus of EUKI, implementers from Central, Eastern, South-Eastern and Southern Europe in particular are encouraged to submit project proposals.
Bilateral and multilateral consortia are equally sought; however, the maximum number of implementing partners (in addition to the implementer) is three. The number of implementing partners should be proportionate to the project’s goals and funding and to the distribution and weighting of each set of tasks.
The following approaches can be pursued individually or in combination: Capacity development; creation of networks; implementing policies and measures, developing strategies and conducting feasibility studies; dialogue formats, dissemination projects and education.
Implementing countries
EUKI supports climate projects with actors in EU member states, primarily the Central, Eastern, South-Eastern and Southern European Member States.
Financing is aimed at projects which operate at either national, regional or local level. The projects are intended to support implementation and/or further development of national strategies and policies.
