The seventh Operational Phase (OP7) of the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) in Ukraine aims to build upon the long-standing achievements of SGP in the country, specifically involving strengthening civil society organizations and improving socioeconomic conditions for local communities through implementation of participatory conservation, restoration, and sustainable livelihood interventions. 

Expanding upon the integrated approaches initiated during the Seventh Operational Phase in the target landscapes, the OP8 Country Programme Strategy aims to achieve broader impacts at scale and ensure sustainability of results achieved. The GEF Small Grants Programme in Ukraine operates in a challenging war environment, where urgent environmental needs and significant challenges such as pollution, habitat destruction, and resource depletion must be addressed. In this context, the program can play a crucial role in addressing these pressing needs through the implementation of projects focused on early green recovery, environmental conservation, restoration, and sustainable development. By investing in environmental initiatives, the GEF Small Grants Programme can help communities rebuild their infrastructure, restore natural resources, and create sustainable livelihoods. Furthermore, the GEF Small Grants Programme in Ukraine can serve as a platform for international cooperation and support. By collaborating with international organizations, donors, and partners, the program can leverage additional resources, expertise, and technical assistance to address the complex environmental challenges arising from the war. This collaboration can help mobilize financial resources, access knowledge and best practices, and promote the exchange of experiences and lessons learned from similar contexts around the world. The GEF Small Grants Programme in Ukraine has a crucial role to play in addressing urgent environmental needs and challenges in a war environment.
