Dear readers,

Happy New Year!

As the echoes of COP28 in Dubai resonate, we’re excited to share the IKI Viet Nam newsletter with you. As usual this edition brings you updates on climate and biodiversity policy developments in Viet Nam as well as updates from IKI projects.

We would also like to hint at two open calls.  The fifth call for proposals by IKI Small Grants is open until 13 March 2024. IKI invites small-scale, national, regional, local projects and organisations in ODA-eligible countries to apply in one of the four funding areas. Detailed information about the IKI Small Grants 2024 programme and application process are shared in this issue.

Likewise, the Call for Projects 2024 of the Mitigation Action Facility is open for submission of project concepts until 29 February 2024. The Mitigation Action Facility is an international multi-donor climate finance programme for sectoral decarbonisation and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action is supporting the Mitigation Action Facility with funds of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). More information on the call can be found on the website.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue.

Daniel Herrmann
