About the opportunity
What this programme is offering
IUCN and the GEF have launched the SGP CSO Challenge Program - a new global program to identify, reward and support high impact innovative environmental approaches and solutions spearheaded by civil society organizations and actors.
The program welcomes submissions from CSOs working in one of 5 strategic areas:
1.Community-based management of threatened ecosystems and species
2.Sustainable agriculture and fisheries, and food security
3.Low-carbon energy access
4.Chemicals and waste management
5.Sustainable urban solutions
Funding Focus
Funding supports initiatives that focus on the following areas:
Replicating proven models in new communities, contexts, or locations
Adapting existing solutions to local conditions
Testing scaling approaches for promising innovations
Unlike previous GEF SGP grants, the program prioritizes larger-sized requests to meet our goals of identifying innovative approaches that can be scaled.
