Local CSOs and CBOs in landscapes-seascapes around the world access grant financing and technical assistance, including capacity development and knowledge sharing to maintain and enhance their socio-ecological resilience, well-being and socio-economic conditions for global environmental benefits.

Additional Financing - Improving Power System Resilience for European Power Grid Integration implemented by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)

SGP-OP8 builds on 30 years of successful experience in empowering local CSOs and CBOs in community driven initiatives that have enhanced wellbeing, increased awareness and resilience, and generated global environmental benefits. With economic development pressures intensifying in the developing world and the associated rising inequalities, local communities, particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged groups are becoming increasingly marginalized. The objective of Part 1 of SGP OP8 is to engage local CSOs/CBOs in landscape-seascape approaches across the 99 participating countries, providing them access to knowledge and information, capacitating them through learning-by-doing, skills development, and delivering technical and grant assistance for interventions that enhance socioeconomic conditions and generate global environmental benefits. In line with the GEF-8 SGP Implementation Arrangements Paper, core SGP resources are to be allocated equally among all eligible countries.

The proposed strategy, elaborated through four complementary outcomes, reflects the key features of GEF Small Grants Programme 2.0, including new approaches to support youth, women and Indigenous Peoples, linking up with complementary partnerships, cooperating with the two additional GEF agencies, and leveraging opportunities with other GEF programs. SGP-OP8 will facilitate opportunities for innovation and scaling up, catalyze multi-stakeholder alliances, and leverage dialogue platforms for greater impact.

An important comparative advantage of SGP is the focus on social inclusion and vulnerable groups, including women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, the elderly and youth. Expected results under OP8-Part 1 include 225,000 ha of land and ecosystems under restoration, 3,800,000 ha of landscapes under improved practices, 90,000 ha of marine protected areas under improved management, 270,000 ha of marine habitat under improved practices, and 500,000 direct beneficiaries, of whom 250,000 are women.

Project Objective: to raise awareness of the value of green hydrogen, address barriers to production and use, and support the development of first-of-a-kind projects in developing countries.

Project Description Summary: The proposed GEF-funded project (“Green Hydrogen Support in Developing Countries”) will consist of two main components. Component 1 will target Global Knowledge TA work through the establishment of a high-level Green Hydrogen Development Facility (Green Hydrogen Facility) that will serve as a global platform to disseminate best practices and facilitate global knowledge exchange to raise awareness between public and private sector stakeholders on different green hydrogen technology applications and policy solutions. Component 2 will target the development/operationalization of emerging green hydrogen opportunities through first-of-a-kind projects in 4 countries, namely, Chile, Morocco, Tunisia, and Ukraine to fast-track public-private investment mobilization for green hydrogen project development.

Overall, the project will aim to promote policy innovations to support green hydrogen technology development and transfer in order to reduce global green house gas (GHG) emissions, which closely aligns with the GEF-7 Climate Change Mitigation (CCM) Focal Area objectives. As such, the project will focus on multiple policy, strategy, and  technology application use cases of green hydrogen across sectors starting in the power sector from long-duration storage and the integration of renewables to hard-to-abate heavy industry (cement, chemicals, steele, etc.) solutions. In addition, the proposal will focus on green hydrogen solutions across other key sectors such as transport (long-distance trucking, shipping, and aviation) and agriculture (ammonia production) including the building sector.
