 United Nations Development Programme Romania - GEF Small Grants Programme
Application deadline: July 17, 2006
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Community-based organizations (CBOs)
are invited to apply.
For this financing cycle, GEF SGP will finance projects addressing the
International Waters (IW) GEF focal area. A project addressing IW can also
address other GEF focal areas, such as: sustainable land management (SLM),
biodiversity conservation (BC), climate change mitigation (CC), reduction of
persistent organic pollutants' (POPs) impact.
Projects need to address environmental protection, poverty reduction, and local
empowerment. They need to involve local communities in the project’s stages and
to respond to the requirements in the Logical Matrix of the GEF SGP Strategy.
The maximum amount for a grant is 50,000 USD. Projects need to demonstrate a
minimum 35% (recommended 50%) co-financing, cash and in-kind altogether.
The four geographic areas of the country tackled by GEF SGP in 2006-2007,
together with the corresponding focal areas (in the brackets) are:
Maramures, Bistrita Nasaud, Suceava, Neamt, Harghita, Mures, Cluj, Salaj, Bihor
and Satu Mare counties (BC, CC, IW, SLM, POPs)
Galati, Braila, Tulcea and Constanta counties (BC, CC, IW, SLM, POPs)
Caras Severin, Mehedinti and Hunedoara counties (BC, CC, IW, SLM, POPs)
The Low Danube Green Corridor (IW, BC).
Launched in 1992, the Small Grants Programme (SGP) of the Global Environmental
Facility (GEF) started in Romania in 2004. Currently offered in more than 85
countries, this programme complements the regular and medium-sized GEF project
funding.
With small grants up to $50,000 per project GEF SGP supports activities in
securing global environmental benefits in the areas of biodiversity, climate
change and international waters, through community-based approaches that also
generate local benefits. Thus it provides a window for the direct participation
of NGOs, local communities, and other grass root organizations in solving local
environmental problems.
Project components may include one or more of the following: demonstration,
capacity building, targeted research, policy dialogue and information
dissemination, and raising awareness among constituencies.
