The overall goal of the small grants programme is to strengthen the implementation of the Convention on Migratory Species and to act as a catalyst for further action beyond the project period. In the 2012-2014 triennium the SGP is foreseen to disburse at least € 75,000 annually thanks to a generous contribution by UNEP made at the Tenth Conference of the Parties (November 2011, Bergen, Norway). CMS Parties and other donors are strongly encouraged to provide financial resources to further strengthen the support for grass-roots funds where they are most needed.
