The Sixth phase of the Pakistan Small Grants Programme (SGP) seeks to build resilience through community action, while recognizing the inter-connectedness of ecosystem services, local food production, natural resource use, livelihoods and culture. As such, the project will support community-based organizations, which are the driving force in rural development strategies, to take the lead in managing natural resources sustainably for social and ecological resilience and global environmental benefits, and in concert with other stakeholders and communities so as to multiply results. The project will integrate the landscape approach in the Indus Delta, by focusing 40% of GEF financing in this area. The landscape will provide a limited geographic scope in which small grants and their results can accrue to generate broader global environmental benefits. The project will also target 40% of its funding to other sites in the country, particularly to biodiversity hotspots, and 20% of its financing to testing and disseminating innovations in the area of energy efficient technologies.The target landscape for the SGP Country Programme in Pakistan during its Sixth GEF Operational Phase (OP6) comprises the Indus Delta in general, and the three coastal deltaic districts, Thatta, Sujawal and Badin, in particular. The rationale for the selection of this landscape is based on a number of factors: the richness of natural and cultural assets, threats and opportunities in the area, unique and diverse biodiversity and the willingness of communities and other stakeholders for long-term engagement and to facilitate the landscape management effort. This is also consistent with the past geographic programmatic focus of SGP OP-4 to OP-5. The landscape covers inter-tidal, supra-tidal and rangeland zones of the Indus Delta, and while the specific target landscape (3 districts, thirteen talukas/tehsils and 10 villages) provides a diversity of communities, land uses and assets, it is inter-connected enough in terms of key ecological, economic, cultural and social processes and properties for the implementation of a strategic landscape approach.
