Project Duration: up to 24 months.
Description
The Global EbA Fund invites proposals that demonstrate collaborative and innovative approaches to advancing EbA by addressing systemic barriers to scalability and contributing to global learning and policy dialogue. Initiatives that strengthen enabling environments and embed EbA into national frameworks to unify strategic climate, biodiversity, land and development priorities are welcome.
The Global EbA Fund invites innovative and catalytic proposals that address systemic barriers for EbA scaling1 by enhancing institutional and technical capacities, quality data and evidence generation, learning networks, and investment readiness.
Aligned with the IKI Strategy up to 2030 –specifically its focus on socio-ecological transformation through technologies, business models, or climate friendly infrastructure– the Fund invites proposals that address critical EbA gaps.
If the project has a country-specific focus, it must be targeted to one or more countries which are eligible for official development assistance (ODA) based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC) list at the time of application.
Regional/multi-country projects, particularly projects designed to foster regional exchange and achieve regional-scale impacts, are eligible. For multi-country projects, which are projects involving activities in more than one country, all of the countries must be ODA-eligible.
Expected outcomes
A successful project will facilitate strengthening the enabling environment to make changes towards EbA uptake and investment
• Facilitate the scaling of EbA implementation, particularly with the focus of the three aforementioned key topics.
• Strengthened locally led EbA interventions and documented replication pathways through targeted knowledge management and exchange.
• Improved technical and institutional capacity to support policy uptake, investmentready concepts and financing strategies.
