Tenders

The GEF Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP) in Papua New Guinea is one of the 122 countries working with local communities to combat the critical environmental problems around the world. SGP PNG supports activities of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) focal areas: biodiversity conservation, climate change abatement, prevention of land degradation, reduction of the impact of Persistent Organic Pollutants and protection of international waters; and consistent with national priorities and government policies such as the Vision 2050, Development Strategic Plan 2010-2030 and Medium-Term Development Plan 2011-2015.

Overarching objective of this grant facility is intended to build and replicate the successful experiences of vulnerable communities to respond to specific local environmental issues and support sustainable livelihood practices that will lead to global environmental benefits. SGP strongly encourages registered or other recognized national and local non-government organizations, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations and other institutions (i.e. research institutions, foundations) to apply for a (a) full grant of up to US$50,000 or (b) planning grant of up to US$ 5,000.
