Small Grants Programme (Second Phase)
The development goal of the second operational phase of the GEF/SGP is to assure global environmental benefits in the areas of biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and protection of international waters from community-based approaches. The rationale for the next phase is rooted in the belief that local solutions to global environmental problems exist and have been successfully implemented through the programme thus far while at the same time recognizing that there still is an unrealized potential to enhance the impact of the programme within the GEF system as a whole.
National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan
The enabling activity project will help formulate a National Biodiversity Strategy Action Plan (BSAP) , and enable India to meets it obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Medicinal Plants
The project aims to facilitate development of safe and efficacious healthcare relying on traditional medicine and medicinal plants while protecting the resource base and implementing measures to reduce pressure on wild populations of rare and endemic species. Specifically it is aimed at resolving problems of habitat destruction, erosion of biodiversity, loss of traditional knowledge and practices, rural poverty and primary healthcare in the regional setting.
Coastal and Marine Biodiversity Conservation in Mindanao
In this project, the GEF would aim to finance the incremental costs of promoting coastal and marine biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in the coastal waters of Mindanao, Philippines. Mindanao has received little attention to date with regard to conservation of its marine biodiversity resources.
Integrated Solar Combined Cycle Power Plant (formerly Solar Based Thermal Power Plant)
The project’s global environment objective is to demonstrate the economic feasibility of solar thermal based power generation worldwide by disseminating the corresponding experience with the aim of reducing project costs in the long-term. Furthermore, the it will reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The project involves the construction and operation of a solar/fossil fuel hybrid power station in the range of 150 MW capacity. The Independent Power Producer (IPP) will be secured through either a Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) or Build Own Operate (BOO) scheme.
Chemosvit Cogeneration Project
The key global environment objective of the proposed Project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through cost-effective and relatively risk free investments to displace grid-supplied electricity with electricity generated more efficiently by a combined cycle CHP plant.
Conservation of Biodiversity in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
The global environmental objective of this project, and the program of which it is a part, is to conserve, restore and sustainably use the singular and heterogeneous mosaic of tropical ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The program contains three components: (i) knowledge generation and dissemination; (ii) participation, organizational strengthening and coordination; and (iii) collaborative management and pilot sustainable development projects which includes the establishment of a trust fund to provide competitive grants to communities.
Hybrid Solar Thermal Power Plant
The project will introduce a solar thermal component of about 29 MW to a 271 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) with an expected cost of the former ranging from US$1,650/kW to US$2,000/kW. It will include associated training, capacity building and monitoring activities. A GEF grant of between US$39.19 to 49.35 million to cover incremental costs is expected to equalize the cost of electricity generation from the hybrid compared to the pure CCGT. The baseline investment costs for the hybrid will be borne by an Independent Power Producer (IPP).
Community Based Conservation in the Bamenda Highlands
The objective of the programme is to support the efforts of the Government of Cameroon in general, and the people of the North West Province in particular, to conserve the forest by: raising widespread awareness of forest values; supporting development of management and control systems for sustainable management of forests (capacity building); and providing communities with the capacity to manage resources sustainably (by demonstrating ways of enhancing forest values, and providing advice on ways of sustainably increasing production from land outside the forests).
Caribbean Archipelago Biosphere Reserve: Regional Marine Protected Area System
The proposed MSP would support conservation of critical habitats in the Archipelago as a means to protect and restore species diversity, sustainable marine and coastal resource use, and equitable benefit distribution to local populations. Achievement of these objectives is vital to the survival of the native culture, both socially and economically.
