Description
GEF is an independent financial organization that provides grants to developing countries for projects that benefit the global environment and promote sustainable livelihoods in local communities. GEF funds a variety of project types, ranging from its Small Grants Programme, to Enabling Activities, Medium-Sized Projects (MSPs), and Full-Sized Projects (FSPs), including the use of the Project Development Facility (PDF) to prepare them.
Projects
Small Grants Programme (SGP): Launched in 1992, SGP supports activities of non-governmental and community-based organizations in developing countries towards climate change abatement, conservation of biodiversity, protection of international waters, reduction of the impact of persistent organic pollutants and prevention of land degradation while generating sustainable livelihoods. SGP is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme on behalf of the three GEF implementing agencies. More than 5,000 grants have been awarded worldwide to date, with many benefiting multiple communities.
