Norway ramping up collaboration with Civil Society

Over the next five years, 39 organizations will be offered grants through the Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI) globally. The portfolio amounts to NOK 300 million per year.

This is the third time that Norad sends out an open call for grants to civil society organizations through the climate and forest project.

Norad received more than 500 applications from organizations all over the world. Several Indonesian organisations and NGOs working on environmental issues in Indonesia were among those selected to receive support, including AMAN, Walhi, the Samdhana Institute,

The Nature Conservancy, CIFOR, and WWF to mention some. For the complete list of organisations, please visit Norad's website: http://www.norad.no/en/front/about-norad/news/2015/final-selection-of-nicfi-2016-2020/
