Background

The GEF Small Grants Program has been a fundamental part of the GEF’s support to the production of global environmental benefits and the implementation of the UNFCCC, UNCBD, UNCCD and other multilateral environmental agreements in countries around the world beginning in 1992.
Following the Upgrading Policy approved by GEF Council in November 2009, nine SGP Country Programs (Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, India, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, and Philippines) were upgraded at the start of GEF 5 through separate GEF Full-Size Projects (FSPs).
Another six SGP Country Programs (Egypt, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Peru, Sri Lanka, and Thailand) were upgraded during GEF-6.
Together, the 15 Upgraded Country Programs (UCPs) represent a dynamic portfolio in which new strategies to build the social and ecological resilience of working landscapes are in active participatory development and implementation, building on a strong foundation of previous grant experience as part of the SGP Global Program. An additional SGP Country Programme (Malaysia) is in the process of upgrading during GEF 7.
The term “upgrading” refers to the graduation of the oldest and most mature of SGP’s Country Programs to a new funding regime allowing higher funding levels and more budgetary control by the Country Programs.
The goals of upgrading were threefold: allow the SGP Global Program to continue to grow and serve low-income nations without concomitant growth in core funds, make better use of the capacities of mature Country Programs to enrich the younger, less experienced Programs, and enable mature Programs to access greater financial resources and exercise more programmatic freedom in light of their greater internal capacity.
During SGP’s Seventh Operational Phases (OP-7), Upgraded Country Programs offer a fertile laboratory to refine and broadly apply the community-based landscape approach, taking advantage of these countries’ SGP experience in certain sectors and geographic regions, their well-developed civil society and market networks, and their access to Full-Size Project funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
