Reference timelines. The public competitions reviewed take between 3 and 10 months from opening to results (our calculation with 2026 call documents).
Mapping classification: Access is through competitive funds for local initiatives by communities and associations (Cuencas Vivas, f1; Fondo Concursable Puna, f3), with evaluation and few slots, hence medium complexity. The funds come from the Adaptation Fund, the Green Climate Fund and governments; the sources do not say whether a counterpart contribution is required, so it is not marked as free.
Who does IdM overlap with?
Organizations in the map working on the same products in the same departments. It is not a declared relationship: it is an overlap in the data, useful to look for synergies.
