Small Grants Program (Second Operational Phase) - 4th year

The second operational phase of the GEF Small Grants Program (GEF/SGP) was approved by the GEF Council in October 1998. A two-year replenishment for $31.619 million was granted and it was agreed that a subsequent annual “rolling” financial modality would be adopted to ensure continuity of programme activities. The replenishment for SGP operations in year 3 was approved by the Council in May 2000 for $22.823 million. The request for SGP replenishment for year 4 was to be submitted at the end of year 2 (May 2001), however it was postponed until December 2001. Within the adopted programmatic approach a number of benchmarks and deliverables are to be met each year.
