Background
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) is
implemented by UNDP’s Local Action Cluster of the Nature, Climate and
Energy unit of BPPS on behalf of the GEF Partnership. It is executed by
UNOPS. The SGP forms a central part of the UNDP Local Action Cluster of
NCE.
SGP grantmaking supports community-based innovation in
addressing global environmental issues and improved, more sustainable
livelihoods through initiatives led by civil society and community
organizations, with special consideration for indigenous peoples, women,
youth and persons with disabilities. SGP has supported over 25,000
community-based projects in over 125 countries aimed at biodiversity
conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, sustainable land
management, protection of international waters, and sound chemicals and
waste management. Over the years, SGP has developed extensive
partnerships at global, national and local levels. See
