Since 1992, the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP)—implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF)—has provided more than 20,000 grants, totaling more than US$541 million, in 132 countries. The program aims to conserve and restore the environment while enhancing people's well-being and livelihoods.
Five years of extensive field studies in the Western Ghats Biodiversity Hotspot by Sonali Garg, a PhD student of former CEPF grantee and University of Delhi professor SD Biju, has led to the discovery of four new species of burrowing frogs. In recognition of CEPF's investment in the hotspot from 2008 to 2015, one of the species has been named the CEPF burrowing frog (Fejervarya cepfi).
CEPF’s Indo-Burma regional implementation team (RIT) recently organized a four-day grantee workshop on Hainan Island, China. Seventeen participants from 10 grantee organizations in the hotspot took part.
Attendees shared experiences, received step-by-step guidance on report writing, participated in a site visit and formed a learning group.
