DEADLINE FOR PROJECT CONCEPT SUBMISSION: Friday, 19 June 2026, 5:00 p.m.

The GEF Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP), implemented by the UNDP, provides financial and technical support to local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) including Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to meet the overall objective of “global environmental benefits secured through community-based initiatives and actions”. SGP funds “small grants” up to a maximum of US$75,000. A 1:1 matching co-financing (cash and kind) is required. in addition, a “strategic project” provides funds up to a maximum of US$150,000 to allow for scaling up and to support initiatives that cover many communities, either within in a critical landscape or seascape, or towards a thematic priority (conditions apply). We believe that community-driven and civil society-led initiatives can generate environmental benefits, while supporting sustainable livelihoods, community resilience building and local empowerment. This is one of the most effective ways to address global environmental challenges. SGP Jamaica became a member in June 2003 and started financing projects in June 2005. Since then, GEF SGP Jamaica has succeeded in funding and providing support to over 160 projects.
