UNDP GEF/CCF Small Grants Programme-India
Small Grants Programme (SGP), funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), seeks to support activities, which demonstrate community-based approaches and lessons learned from other development projects that could reduce threats to the local and global environment. The GEF/SGP was launched in 1991 by UNDP to assist developing countries in fulfilling their commitment towards the protection of the global environment. The Programme is sourced with a belief that global environmental problems can only be addressed adequately, if local people are involved in decision making at all levels. Even with small amounts of funding, communities can undertake activities, which will make a significant difference in their livelihoods and environment. UNDP GEF/SGP is currently offered in 63 countries worldwide. The programme started in India since 1996. Click here to learn more about this programme. |
