Project title:
Support for the BMWE, AA and BMUKN in implementing the International Climate Initiative (IKI)
Initial situation:
The German government has set up the International Climate Initiative (IKI) to finance projects to combat climate change worldwide. The Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) share responsibility for the IKI.
Objective:
The federal ministries responsible for IKI are supported in reviewing proof of use and final reports after project completion
Approach:
The project manages more than 400 completed IKI projects. The team consists of technical and legal/commercial experts. They assess whether objectives have been achieved, how the project has worked, how economically efficient it has been and whether the IKI funding has been used properly. After the audit, the ministries forward final decisions to the funding recipients with their findings and any objections.
The project acts as an interface between the three federal ministries and those responsible for receiving or using IKI funds. It advises both sides on issues that arise during the review of a completed project. In addition, the project ensures that all necessary documents and information are available. Experiences from the review process are recorded in the knowledge management system for possible future project funding.
