FULBRIGHT

The Turkish Fulbright Commission or in other words, the Commission for Educational Exchange between the United States and Turkey, was established by a binational agreement signed between Turkey and the United States in 1949. The Commission started its activities in accordance with Law No. 5596 enacted by the Turkish Parliament on March 13, 1950.

The Commission supports Turkish and American graduate students, faculty members, teachers, artists and professionals through grants which include travel and living expenses. It also offers educational advising for Turkish students wishing to study in the U.S.A. Our Commission was founded to develop mutual understanding between the Turkish and American people through educational and cultural exchange.

The Commission Board and the Executive Director are the administrators of our Commission. The members of the Commission Board are assigned by the Turkish and American governments and they represent both countries.

Since the foundation of our Commission in 1949, funding has been provided by the governments of Turkey and the United States. We will celebrate our 70th anniversary in 2019. Our Commission has supported around 6,500 Turkish and American scholars. Turkish Fulbrighters return to Turkey upon completion of their studies in the U.S.A. and work to serve their country. American scholars coming to Turkey have made major teaching and research contributions in a variety of disciplines ranging from Science and Engineering to Business, History and Literature. Returning Fulbrighters from both countries often hold important positions in their academic institutions, public service, and in the private sector. Most participants maintain ties with their host country, thereby carrying out the goals of the Fulbright Program.

Fulbright head office is in Ankara and there is a branch office in Istanbul.

INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE INITIATIVE (IKI)

International Climate Initiative (IKI) is one of the most important instruments of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) for the international financing of climate change mitigation and biodiversity. IKI operates within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), financing climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation in developing, emerging and transition countries. Since 2008 to 2019, IKI approved more than 730 climate and biodiversity projects with a total funding volume of EUR 3.9 billion in more than 60 countries.

 

The partner countries are supported with IKI funding to help them implement and ambitiously develop their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) anchored in the Paris Agreement. The NDCs include measures to adapt to the impacts of climate change and increase resilience to its unavoidable impacts. In the field of biodiversity, IKI supports partner countries in achieving the goals of the CBD to counteract the dramatic global loss of natural resources. The activities of IKI also contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Projects that are implemented in one of the following four funding areas are eligible for support:

  • Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions

  • Adapting to the impacts of climate change

  • Conserving natural carbon sinks with a focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+)

  • Conserving biological diversity

GOVERNMENT OF CANADA: THE CANADA FUND FOR LOCAL INITIATIVES

Program Description

The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada’s thematic priority areas for engagement. The program is directed at projects conceived and designed predominantly by local partners. Projects are selected and approved by the relevant Canadian embassy or high commission. The CFLI also serves to support positive bilateral relations between Canada and recipient countries and their civil societies, by deepening contacts and supporting local endeavours.

The average CFLI contribution is $10,000 to $40,000 Canadian Dollars (CAD$100,000 is the maximum allocation amount for a project eligible under CFLI). Consult the currency converter for local currency equivalents. Please note that all contributions are made in Canadian dollars and then converted to the local currency.

How to apply

  • All projects must be completed between the date of signature of the contribution agreement and February 21, 2021.

  • Projects impact, or have participants from, at least 3 ASEAN countries.

  • The deadline for submission was June 19, 2020 at 23:59 (GMT+7). Applications submitted after this deadline will not be considered.

  • Only those proposals using the designated application form and including the required budget document will be considered.

  • For more information on the types of activities and costs that are eligible for CFLI funding, please refer to the list of CFLI approved activities and costs.

  • Proposals must be completed in English or French.

  • Project proposals must explicitly answer all questions in the CFLI project application form, including the required gender-based analysis. The proposed project budget should summarize the proposed activities and associated costs.

  • Applications will be assessed for approval on their merits by a selection committee.

  • Due to the large number of applicants, only the successful candidates will be contacted.

  • For questions about the application process, please contact the CFLI Coordinator: ASEAN-CFLI.ANASE-FCIL@international.gc.ca.

  • Project applications are kept on file at missions in accordance with Global Affairs Canada’s information management policies.

Organizations eligible to apply for CFLI funding

Eligible recipients include:

  • Local, national or community-based organization (non-governmental and not-for-profit)

  • Local municipal, regional or national government institution or agency of the recipient country

  • Local academic institution

  • Canadian organization (non-governmental or not-for-profit) that is working on local development activities

  • International or regional organization (non-governmental or not-for-profit) that is working on local development activities

  • Intergovernmental or multilateral institution, organization or agency working on local development activities

The majority of CFLI funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations may be eligible for funding, provided they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with the objectives of the CFLI. Similarly, municipal, regional and national government institutions may receive funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature. The CFLI is always looking to fund innovative projects that deliver measurable results.

Thematic priorities

All projects must align with at least one of the following CFLI thematic priorities:

It is recommended that missions focus on a limited number of priorities that advance the strategic objectives of their CFLI program. Missions also have flexibility to adjust or expand on these priorities in order to highlight certain themes or sub-themes as long as they are aligned with the Thematic Priority Guidance document.

  • gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

  • peace and security, with a focus on conflict prevention and building peace.

  • human dignity, covering health, education and nutrition.

Gender-based analysis

In 2017, Canada adopted its Feminist International Assistance Policy to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls as the most effective way to reduce poverty and build a more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous world. In alignment with this policy, the CFLI project application process now requires a gender-based analysis (GBA). The purpose of this change is to enhance the gender equality outcomes of the CFLI program.

A GBA will require applicants to:

  • consider how women, girls, men, and boys are affected differently by the problem their project is aiming to address, ensuring, at the same time, that the project does not cause harm

  • consult women and/or girls in the development of their project proposal

  • ensure that the views of those women and/or girls inform the project’s design

Note that consultations can include, but are not limited to, speaking to women and girls from the local community, women and other individuals who work for civil society organizations that have worked in the local community and female and male decision and change makers who have knowledge of the local community. Inadequate completion of a GBA may affect the consideration of your proposal.
