The United Kingdom will host the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) during November 2021 in Glasgow. This call for bids is aligned with UK commitment to support climate action; create resilience and reduce national emissions.
The British Embassy Algiers has introduced a Climate Fund to support activities in Algeria that focus on the following thematic areas:
-
supporting efforts to raise Algerian public awareness about climate change and its social, economic and/or environmental impact
-
activities that support solutions for a green recovery post COVID-19, particularly energy transition and efficiency, green energy, waste management and biodiversity
Activity bid guidance
Activities are one-off interventions (not a fully developed project) that take place between 1 February and 15 March 2021, with no expectation of continued funding beyond the initial activity or period. Maximum activity budget limit is GBP 5,000 (860,000 Algerian Dinar).
Activity bids will be assessed against the following criteria:
- alignment with the above-mentioned climate related thematic areas
- outcomes that are achievable within the funding period
- activity design that contributes to a lasting impact
- activity design that includes risk and financial accountability procedures
- overall value for money
Things not covered by funding:
- purchase of capital equipment
- communications strategies or campaigns
The Embassy is looking for innovative projects, with concrete objectives and measurable policy outcomes. We cannot fund academic research projects, or research collaboration projects.

Project proposals must show in outline how budgets are to be spent using the Activity Based Budget Form (ABB). Value for money must be demonstrated.
The full bid document must be accompanied by a fully completed activity-based budget, using the template provided. The project proposal will not be considered without a detailed ABB.
Break down all activity costs into components, so it is clear how they are made up and which month particular payments are due. Provide as much detail as possible, (e.g. do not state just the figure for a workshop, but break that down into venue, catering, travel costs etc.).
UK Government funding must be made to a bank account, we cannot make cash payments.
