GEF Small Grants programm

The GEF SGP Ukraine supports local communities of the pilot areas in their intention to contribute to global environmental benefits. While SGP projects are small, when they are strategically implemented and build up over time, then the positive impacts go beyond the community to the country and even the global level.

The GEF SGP Ukraine programming position  is to promote locally based activities that will produce visible and measurable results in the areas of:

– “Green Growth” as a solution for addressing the development challenges on the local level;

– Mitigation of the effects of the Climate Change: through promoting  energy efficiency and assessing the possibilities to use renewable energy resources, and, promoting and use of alternative transport means;

– Creation of partnership between local citizens’ associations and local governments to address and jointly act to solve community environmental problems.
