1) Objective

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) provides civil society and community-based organizations (CSOs/CBOs) in developing countries with grants to enable them to tackle global environmental challenges1 while addressing local sustainable development needs.

This will involve multi-stakeholder consultations, development of baseline assessment(s) of priority identified landscape(s)/seascape(s), and elaboration of the Malaysia Country Programme Strategy (CPS) for OP8 in close coordination with the SGP National Coordinator (NC), UNDP country office and National Steering Committee (NSC) in Malaysia.
