🌿 #FundingWednesdays | The Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP), run by UNDP in Malawi, is inviting project proposals from Malawian non-profit organisations.

🌍 What the programme does: GEF SGP funds community-based projects that tackle environmental challenges while improving livelihoods and promoting social inclusion and gender equality. This call falls under the programme's eighth phase (OP8).

• 🌱 Projects can address:
  🦋 Biodiversity
  🌾 Land degradation
  🌡️ Climate change
  ♻️ Chemicals and waste

• 💰 What's on offer:
  💵 Grants from US$5,000 to US$75,000 per project
  ⏳ Projects of up to 24 months

• 📋 Strong fit if your organisation:
  ✅ Is a non-profit legally registered in Malawi
  ✅ Works with communities in Mzimba, Rumphi or Nkhata Bay, or on urban solutions in Blantyre, Zomba, Lilongwe or Mzuzu
  ✅ Can align its project with the GEF SGP Malawi Country Programme Strategy (OP8)
  ✅ Builds gender equality and social inclusion into its work

💚 IMVELO Impact: Some of the most lasting environmental wins start small: a community restoring its wetland, a cooperative switching to sustainable farming, a youth group tackling waste. Small grants like these put resources directly in the hands of the people closest to the land.

📍 Priority areas: Mzimba, Rumphi and Nkhata Bay (plus Blantyre, Zomba, Lilongwe and Mzuzu for urban solutions)
⏰ Deadline: 30 October 2026
