The small grants program will support local initiatives and actions that contribute to improving the environment and, in the long run, lead to improved living standards.

The project must be submitted by a single applicant. In the case of local partnerships (with other NGOs, local authorities, etc.), an Agreement with local partners must be attached upon request.

"It is assumed that such partnerships will ensure a resonant impact and greater involvement in project implementation," say the project organizers.
