New Call for proposals Short-term small scale Grants 2022

A call for proposals from the SPAW-RAC for Short-term Small Grants is opened until May 15, 2022.

The main objective of this call for proposals is the implementation of the SPAW Protocol by encouraging concrete actions for the conservation of biodiversity in the countries and territories of the Wider Caribbean Region that have signed the SPAW Protocol of the Cartagena Convention (https://car-spaw-rac.org/).

The specific objectives are to provide financial support, in entirety or by co-funding, concrete actions aiming at:
 effectively improving the status of conservation of threatened species in the Wider Caribbean Region, particularly those listed in the annexes of the SPAW protocol;
 implementing management measures for threatened species and for the listed protected areas, in particular if they involve civil society actors;
 and implementing restoration actions as a priority within the protected areas listed of the protocol.

For this call for proposals, particular attention will be paid to projects in countries and territories, preferentially signatories of the SPAW protocol, that do not easily benefit from traditional funding. Projects involving collaboration between one or more Caribbean territories will also be encouraged. The initiatives concerning species of plants, terrestrial mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish annexed to the SPAW protocol will be appreciated, but do not rule out other proposals.
