GEF SGP Mauritius The Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme is a corporate programme of the GEF that is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme

The Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP) is a corporate programme of the GEF that is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Programme was launched in Mauritius in April 1995, operating on a 4-year programme cycle basis and has since then funded 158 projects in Mauritius and Rodrigues. It provides financial and technical support to civil society

projects that conserve and restore the environment while enhancing people's well being and livelihoods. Established in 1992, the year of the Rio Earth Summit, the GEF SGP embodies the very essence of sustainable development by "thinking globally acting locally". The GEF SGP funds and actively supports non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs) working towards climate change abatement, conservation of biodiversity, protection of international waters, reduction of the impact of persistent organic pollutants and prevention of land degradation while generating sustainable livelihoods. The GEF SGP has built significant capacity in its partners both directly and through project implementation. The support of national experts, from institutions and NGOs, is felt to have been fundamental to the success of this capacity building. Over these 20 years of presence, the Programme has achieved solid reputation amongst the civil society and has built high visibility amongst key policy makers as well as other donors and CSRs who have become strong advocates of the Small Grants approach.

For 30 years in Mauritius, has been privileged to rely on the dedicated voluntary commitment of members of its National Steering Committee 🇲🇺. Their passion and expertise continue to guide meaningful environmental action across the island. Our gratitude goes to them🙏🏼

Today the SGP NSC & National Coordinator, Government officials and NGO members carried out a site visit on the South Coast, observing ongoing restoration efforts and exchanging with stakeholders on the importance of protecting and restoring the island’s unique native coastal ecosystems. 🌿

Regenerating these fragile ecosystems is key to safeguarding Mauritius’ biodiversity and resilience for future generations.
