Current Funding Opportunities
Institutional Funding
Help bolster the infrastructure, expertise and resources to deliver the IIJ mission with sustainable impact
Secondments
Seconding criminal justice practitioners to the IIJ as Senior Advisers delivers invaluable benefits for both the secondee and the seconding government. Benefits include professional development opportunities, experience in the design and delivery of capacity-building activities, immersion in counter-terrorism and rule of law capacity-building, and the building of networks at the regional and international levels.
Flexible Funding
When you provide flexible funding, you are supporting us where we need it most. IIJ capacity-building is largely grant-based, with governments mainly funding specific initiatives, courses or workshops. To ensure the sustainability of the IIJ mission, the Institute relies on flexible funding to support activities not covered by specific grants, and to implement its Annual Programme approved by our Governing Board of Administrators.
Such funds can be used to fund activities through the IIJ Alumni Network and Advisory Board, the translation and interpretation of IIJ practitioner tools to reach a broader audience, administrative expenses, programming, communications infrastructure, and supporting the development of IIJ publications and tools.
In-Kind Contributions
IIJ capacity-building activities are implemented both in Malta and across our geographic focus areas, and we convene high-level and global events both online and in cities around the world. Many governments contribute through in-kind contributions, whether in the form of supplying venues for or co-hosting events, providing logistical support or translation/interpretation services. The IIJ welcomes all in-kind contributions as valuable support for the IIJ mission.

Testimonials
Government of Switzerland
The IIJ has played a special role in supporting Switzerland in its capacity as Co-Chair, along with Nigeria, of the GCTF Criminal Justice and Rule of Law Working Group. This has included a leading role in the development of the GCTF’s Neuchâtel Memorandum, and continuing to play a leading role in the implementation and operationalisation of these crucial good practices. Building on that success, Switzerland and the IIJ have partnered on numerous projects, including tailored curricula on the GCTF’s Glion and Abuja Recommendations.
Government of Malta
Malta has willingly accepted to actively host and support the mandate of the IIJ upon its inception in 2014. The Institute continues to attract members and partners that actively contribute to best-practices on countering terrorism from their own angles and perspectives. To this end, Malta is willing to continue providing successive flexible funding to the IIJ to support the operational continuity and its institutional growth as an advocacy.
Government of France
The promotion of human rights and the rule of law is a cornerstone for building resilience against terrorism. As an IIJ GBA Member and Founding Donor to the Academic Unit, France has consistently stressed the importance of fostering a criminal justice approach to the fight against terrorism and the need to strengthen human rights-compliant criminal justice chains worldwide.
