An Overview
India is one among the eighty-three countries globally, which operates the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) administered by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). SGP India became operational in September 1997. After the Pilot Phase and Operational Phase I and II, now the SGP is in its third operational phase (2005-2008).
Overall responsibility of SGP in India rests with the National Steering Committee (NSC), which comprises representatives from the Government of India, UNDP, NGOs and academicians. The programme is being implemented (since September 2000) by the National Host Institution – Centre for Environment Education (CEE).
