Information that is massive, scattered and constantly changing
Keeping up with green finance has become a full-time job.
Massive
Dozens of funds, conventions and development banks publish decisions, policies, calls and reports every week. No one can read it all.
Scattered
Institutional websites, mailing lists, social media, board meeting PDFs, COP reports: useful information is spread across hundreds of channels, mostly in English.
Changing
Access policies, eligibility criteria, readiness windows, calendars: fund rules evolve with every decision. What was true six months ago may no longer be.
The result: missed deadlines, decisions discovered too late, teams spending more time searching for information than using it — and funding opportunities slipping away from the continent.
Seizing opportunities requires constant information and strategic monitoring. That is what IRIS is for.
The solution
IRIS: all green finance intelligence, in one place
IRIS automatically collects, sorts, summarizes and organizes news on international environmental governance and climate finance funding windows — so you keep only what matters.
Save time
One news feed instead of dozens of websites to check. Duplicates are grouped, and each topic is summarized in a few lines.
Miss nothing
Opportunities and deadlines surfaced, alerts on your topics, daily and weekly briefs in your inbox.
Decide better
Information organized by fund, theme and country, and an assistant that answers your questions and cites its sources.
Our goal: that every African climate finance stakeholder has the right information, at the right time, to seize opportunities.

From source to decision, in four steps
- 1Step 1
Collect
IRIS continuously monitors the websites, feeds and official publications of funds, conventions, regional organizations and specialized media.
- 2Step 2
Analyze
Specialized AI filters out off-topic content, groups articles about the same event and identifies opportunities, decisions and events.
- 3Step 3
Organize
Each topic is summarized and classified by fund, theme and region, and its key dates are extracted: deadline, event date and venue.
- 4Step 4
Deliver
