Deadlines depending on the scheme

The Darwin Initiative is a UK government grants scheme that helps conserve biodiversity and support the communities that live alongside it through locally led projects worldwide.

Successful Darwin Initiative projects are likely to include:

Colombia, as an upper middle income country, is among the eligible countries for these schemes

Round 31 of the Darwin Initiative includes the following funding schemes:

Darwin Initiative Extra will provide grants between £800,000 and £5 million, for projects that are on a clear scaling pathway: building on good evidence from previous Biodiversity Challenge Funds projects and demonstrating the potential to scale further by completion and delivering strong results for biodiversity conservation and multidimensional poverty reduction. Darwin Initiative Extra projects should last between 2 to 5 years maximum.

Darwin Initiative Innovation welcomes applications for projects between £10,000 to £200,000. Innovation is aimed at projects intending to test and evaluate novel approaches that if proven could scale to deliver results for biodiversity conservation and multidimensional poverty reduction. Projects should last between 1 to 2 years maximum. 

Darwin Initiative Capability & Capacity welcomes applications for projects between £50,000 and £200,000. Projects should focus on developing the capability and capacity of national and local organisations to efficiently deliver effective and successful biodiversity conservation - multidimensional poverty reduction projects. Projects should last between 1 to 2 years maximum.
