Overview : The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) provides non-governmental and community-based organizations (NGOs/CBOs) in developing countries with grants to enable them to tackle global environmental challenges while addressing local sustainable development needs. SGP is a GEF corporate programme, implemented by UNDP and executed by UNOPS. SGP Barbados started financing projects in 1994 under the sub-regional programme for Barbados and the OECS. From 2011 the programme transition to a country modality with each country having a National Coordinator. Since then, it has succeeded in funding and providing technical support for more than 25 grant projects.
This call for proposals is to solicit civil society organizations to put forward proposals that help SGP undertake a preparatory process to develop its strategy for OP6. This will involve multi-stakeholder consultations, development of baseline assessment(s) of priority identified landscape(s)/seascape(s)/ridge to reef, and elaboration of the Country Programme Strategy (CPS) for OP6 in close coordination with the SGP National Coordinator and National Steering Committee in Barbados. The key steps in this preparatory process and the key deliverables expected are described in detail below. |
