Sustainability of small grants

IUCN Sri Lanka is the National Secretariat of Mangroves for the Future (MFF) regional initiative that is being implemented in the country since 2008. MFF Sri Lanka implemented over 82 small grants to date and as an innovative step, decided to allocate resources to better understand the post-project sustainability of MFF projects. Fifty nine (59) projects have been implemented during 2009-2012 of which 54 were evaluated.

Small grants for conservation

This study was commissioned by IUCN Programme Aires Protégées – UICN-PACO in late 2014 to develop comprehensive understanding for the scaling potential of the “small grants for biodiversity” model, and to improve the design and/or targeting of future investments. The objectives of the study are to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of delivery of the planned outcomes from small grants programmes in West and Central Africa during the past 10 years as well as their impact on biodiversity.
