Environmental policy and administrative management

The UNDP GEF/RNE Small Grants Programme Stakeholders Writeshop 2002 hits two birds with one stone. On one hand, it brings together all past and current grantees of the Small Grants Programme paying attention to possibilities for the formation of a SGP Grantees Network and a resource mobilization plan at the local level. On the other hand, the workshop explores and orients possible/potential SGP grantees with the conduct of a writeshop, the result of which is a concept/proposal that falls within the SGP focus and directions. In view of this, the writeshops will include updates regarding the status of SGP-funded projects; discussions on the environment scenario; presentation on procedures/guidelines of the GEF-medium sized programme, and the new/revised guidelines of the SGP; and workshop/critiquing of project proposals submitted to SGP by potential grantees. Likewise, this will provide the forum/venue for NGOs/CBOs/POs to know the thrusts/directions of other similar funding facilities who shall be invited to the forum to present their guidelines, criteria, and procedures for project proposal review/appraisal.
