Icelandic International Development Agency
Funding for fisheries, renewable energy, and water and sanitation in Malawi, Mozambique, and Uganda
Principal Office: Iceland
The Icelandic International Development Agency (ICEIDA) is an autonomous agency under the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs. ICEIDA executes and administers Iceland’s bilateral development assistance to promote cooperation between Iceland and developing countries.
ICEIDA focuses on just a few sectors and countries where Icelandic expertise is thought to be most useful. Projects for fisheries, water and sanitation, and energy are a significant part of ICEIDA’s budget.
Grant Programs for Agriculture, Energy, Environment, Natural Resources
ICEIDA does not manage a competitive grants program. It does, however, implement many of its projects through partner organizations in civil society.
1 — Civil Society in Iceland. ICEIDA has signed formal agreements with a few Icelandic charitable organizations for defined projects in ICEIDA’s target countries. These are mainly for activities in health, education, and humanitarian issues. The “green sectors” are not well represented.
2 — Civil Society in Developing Countries. ICEIDA’s country programs work with grassroots partner organizations, who may sometimes receive indirect financial assistance or assistance in-kind.
