Description of the Project

Through the UNDP Small Grants Programme, the project will engage local CSOs/CBOs in landscape-seascape approaches, providing them access to knowledge and information, capacitating them through learning-by-doing, skills development, and delivering technical and grant assistance for interventions that enhance socioeconomic conditions and generate global environmental benefits

The objective of SGP OP8 is to engage local CSOs/CBOs in landscape-seascape approaches, providing them access to knowledge and information, capacitating them through learning-by-doing, skills development, and delivering technical and grant assistance for interventions that enhance socioeconomic conditions and generate global environmental benefits. In line with the GEF-8 SGP Implementation Arrangements Paper, core SGP resources are to be allocated equally among all eligible countries. An important comparative advantage of SGP is the focus on social inclusion and vulnerable groups, including women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, the elderly and youth. Expected results will target hectares of land and ecosystems under restoration, hectares of landscapes under improved practices, marine protected areas under improved management, hectares of marine habitat under improved practices, and number of direct beneficiaries, of whom 50% are women.
