The SDGs Fund has the objective to foster partnership projects aiming at strengthening sustainable economic growth. The annual budget is approximately 1.4 billion EUR per year. Projects must take place in the developing countries as classified by OECD DAC and the Government of Iceland. Projects can receive up to 50% of the total budget, with a maximum of 200.000 EUR for each project over a period of three years. The projects should be implemented in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Special emphasis is placed on women’s job creation and projects that have a positive environmental impact.
