The project will analyze the incentive structure,operational implications and the internal consistency of incremental cost andother alternative financing and project selection policies that might be proposed.
GLOBAL GEF Small Grants Programme
GEF Implementing Agency: UNDPTask Manager: Peter HazlewoodUNDP administers the GFF Small Grants Programme on behalf of the three GEFpartner agencies. The program supports grassroots action that addresses globalenvironmental problems. A key challenge in this effort is to identify community-based approaches that are relevant to people's daily lives and needs, while at thesame time making a real contribution to the four GEF priority areas. The SmallGrants Programme is operational in approximately 30 countries. To date, more
than 125 projects around the world have been approved for funding, with manymore in development or under review. Grants of up to $50,000 are awarded bylocal selection committees on a competitive basis to community groups, NGOs
and NGO networks.
