Overview
UNDP Nigeria’s GEF Small Grants Programme has issued an ICCA-GSI Phase Two call for community conservation. It includes catalytic-NGO and regular-grant routes.
About the Opportunity
The initiative supports areas conserved by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, linking biodiversity protection with livelihoods and resilience.
Benefits
Grants can reach US$50,000. Applicants must demonstrate cash or in-kind co-financing; the award is not an unrestricted personal grant.
Eligibility
Regular grants target registered local civil-society organisations with more than three years of relevant ICCA and community-empowerment experience. Catalytic applicants face additional technical requirements.
Application Process
Request the full proposal template from ibironke-favour.olubamise@undp.org. Regular-grant enquiries should include the requested ICCA description of no more than 100 words.
Required Documents
Prepare registration evidence, relevant experience, the project proposal and a co-financing plan. Use the official template for the full checklist.
Deadline
The reviewed written call does not specify a submission cutoff. Request the timetable with the proposal template before planning submission.
