Results of the fourth project call in 2024
To support countries in the Global South in the fight against climate change, the Government of Flanders contributes to international climate financing. Since 2021, the Government of Flanders has launched four consecutive calls within the Flanders International Climate Action Programme for adaptation and mitigation projects in countries in the Global South. These projects enhance the implementation of climate policies, strategies, regulations, action plans and technology.
Through the Flanders International Climate Action Programme, projects are supported that demonstrate technological solutions, disseminate knowledge and information, and initiate capacity building. These projects must be carried out in countries in the Global South, with a Flemish organization taking the lead.
For the fourth project call, the Government of Flanders provides €15 million in subsidies, divided into two project types.
€6.47 million for dissemination and/or capacity building projects
The project call of 2024 for dissemination and/or capacity building projects resulted in 46 submitted project proposals. These proposals were evaluated by an independent jury under the coordination of the Department of Environment.
On 19 July 2024, the Flemish Government approved the funding of 14 dissemination and/or capacity building projects for a total amount of €6.47 million. The approved dissemination and capacity building projects will start no later than 1 November 2024.
€8.53 million for demonstration projects
The submitted demonstration projects are currently being evaluated by the expert jury. A decision is expected in the fall of 2024.
