Small Grants Programme

The GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) was launched in 1992 to provide support for community-level initiatives that contribute to conserving global biodiversity, mitigating climate change, protecting international waters, reducing impacts of persistent organic pollutants and preventing land degradation while generating sustainable livelihoods.

SGP complements GEF full- and medium-sized project funding, by providing a window for the direct participation of NGOs, local communities, and other grassroots organizations.

The Programme is administered by UNDP in 70 country offices. To date, there are 80 countries participating, with 10 new countries being added each year.
