Deadline: 3-Apr-25
Nigeria-UK PACT is inviting eligible organisations to submit proposals for innovative, capacity-building projects that support Nigeria’s climate change mitigation ambitions.
Funding Information
- Up to £500,000 per financial year, per project (i.e., the budget ceiling for two years would be £1,000,000). Higher budget projects may be considered on an exceptional basis depending on proposed activities and value for money against expected outcomes.
- Project durations differ and guidelines are provided within each project’s detailed terms of reference. Typically, projects will run for 12-22 months. All projects are assumed to have a start date in June 2025.
What are they looking for?
- As a demand-led programme, the Nigeria-UK PACT Country Fund aims to align its support with the Government of Nigeria’s existing plans and policies. Through consultation with the Government of Nigeria, UK PACT has identified key opportunities in the Climate Policy and Governance sector.
- The following projects have been identified for funding within this call for proposals:
- Strengthening Climate Governance and Policy Implementation: Enhancing Nigeria’s capacity in global climate negotiations
- Data and Monitoring for Climate Action: Building robust climate data and MRV systems
- Private Sector Climate Action: Enhancing private sector capacity for climate action
What type of costs are eligible?
- All projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis. Eligible costs will include:
- Consultancy and/or staff time required to deliver activities.
- Reasonable travel and subsistence costs.
- Other costs directly related to activities and outputs (workshops, seminars, production of reports, translation etc.).
- They cannot award funding for infrastructure, hardware, or for tangible assets.
Who can apply?
- They invite all organisations with relevant experience and expertise in delivering technical assistance projects in the climate policy and governance sector to register. This could be Think tanks, academic institutions, NGOs, private companies, professional associations or similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver technical assistance projects relating to one of the thematic areas outlined.
- As of 2024, organisations operated on a for-profit basis can participate as a partner, both within a consortium or as the lead implementing partner of a proposal; however, projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis.
- Government agencies and/ or departments are not eligible to apply either as a lead organisation, or as a partner organisation within a consortium. However, they work closely with the government in the co-creation and implementation of projects.
