Deadline- 31 July 2013
Call for proposals are invited for Small Grants Programme (SGP) in India offered by Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by Centre for Environment Education (CEE). The objective of this proposals is to to provide a countrywide coverage and to also address the local issues and national priorities more appropriately.
The SGP programme is sourced with the belief that global environmental problems can be addressed effectively, if local people are involved in decision-making at all levels within projects and have control over resources. It demonstrates that with small amount of funding, the communities at the grassroots level can make significant different in their livelihoods and the environment.
The duration of each proposal may vary from 18 to 30 months. SGP will consider grants of up to Rs.18 lacs for each project. In special cases, where co-financing and partnership commitments are more, higher budgets may be considered, if the project activities justify the same.
