Submission of a Concept is the first step in the application process for GEF Small Grants Programme (GEF-SGP) support. A Concept is a brief description of the idea for the project which is reviewed by the GEF-SGP National Coordinator. If time permits, the National Coordinator can further discuss the idea with the proposing organization and others, and can advise whether or not the idea can be considered for GEF-SGP support.
ABOUT GEF SGP
Established at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) embodies the idea of ‘thinking globally, acting locally. We provide up to $50,000 in grants to local communities, supporting initiatives that conserve and restore the environment while improving people’s well-being.
From restoring endangered species' habitats to pioneering climate change solutions, our mission is clear: empower local communities for a sustainable future.
We believe that by investing in people, we can achieve lasting change. Our work aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and addresses critical environmental challenges, including biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and land degradation.
