The mission of the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) in India is to empower local communities, civil society organizations, and grassroots institutions to actively participate in protecting the environment while enhancing their livelihoods and social well-being.
SGP envisions a future where people and nature thrive together, especially in the most vulnerable and ecologically fragile regions of the country. Through the implementation of community-led, innovative, and scalable projects, the programme aims to strengthen socio-ecological resilience, promote inclusive development, and generate global environmental benefits.
