Small Grants Program of the Global Environment Facility announces a competition for the selection of project proposals

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) provides nongovernmental and community‐based organizations (NGOs/CBOs) in developing countries with grants to enable them to tackle climate change, conserve biodiversity, protect international waters, reduce the impact of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), and prevent land degradation. With these environment‐centered “grant projects” the programme also seeks to generate sustainable livelihoods and reduce poverty in the world’s neediest countries and regions. The SGP motto is “community action with global impact!”. Within this call of proposals, the grants will be offered for the following thematic areas: Community Landscape and Seascape Conservation;
Climate Smart Innovative Agro-ecology;
