The GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) of the United Nations Development Programme in Nepal directly works with community based organizations and non-governmental organizations to address global environmental issues while satisfying local needs.
Since its inception in late 1998, SGP Nepal has funded over 92 community based projects which have successfully integrated global environmental concerns and local level needs. Some of the key success factors of SGP projects are; a) innovative nature of projects, b) fast grant delivery mechanism, c) community ownership of the projects through decision making at the grassroots level, and d) maintaining transparency at all levels. SGP's role in enhancing grantees capacity for adopting participatory approaches of project implementation and monitoring, sharing knowledge and leveraging funds from partner organizations has ensured project sustainability.
This publication is an attempt to portray profile of selected SGP projects which were implemented during 1998-2007. It briefly describes achievements made and its relevance at the local level. We are also compiling the profiles of remaining SGP supported projects and would publish in subsequent volumes.
