Centre
for Environment Education is the official host for Global Environmental
Facility in India and therefore it will be implementing the forthcoming Small
Grants Programme for which proposals are invited. Under the current programme
the funding agencies are looking to support projects, which demonstrate
community-based innovative, gender sensitive, participatory approaches and
lessons learned from other development projects
that lead to reduce threats to the local and global environment problems.
The Programme is encouraged with a belief that global environmental
problems can only be addressed adequately, if local people are involved in
planning, decision making and sharing roles and responsibilities at all levels.
It strongly believes that with small amounts of funding, the communities can
undertake activities and local actions, which make “Significant Difference” to
their environment and livelihoods
