Project description
The GEF Small Grants Programme is a global yet country-driven programme providing facilitative access to funding and technical support to communities and civil society organizations and enabling them through concrete actions to develop capacity and be empowered. SGP supports innovative piloting and demonstration of new methods and models at the local level for eventual scaling up, replication and mainstreaming of successes and lessons learned with other partners, government, and development agencies. This project will support the generation of global environmental benefits in line with the strategic priorities of the GEF as well as the local sustainable development objectives of participating countries. In its sixth Operational Phase (OP6), SGP will target its support towards priority landscapes and seascapes for community based conservation actions, promote sustainable energy access co-benefits, climate smart agro-ecology, and local to global chemicals coalitions. The SGP will also enhance its focus on a range of grantmaker+ services to promote capacity development and effective networking of CSOs, including policy dialogues with government, special emphasis on social inclusion, and global knowledge platforms.
