Program for Measuring Incremental GLOBAL Costs for the Environment (PRINCE) GEF Implementing Agency: GEF Secretariat Task Manager: Dilip Ahuja The objective of this project is to describe the conceptual underpinnings of the incremental cost framework at the project, program, sector and country levels for the four GEF focal areas. The project will analyze the incentive structure, operational implications and the internal consistency of incremental cost and other alternative financing and project selection policies that might be proposed. GLOBAL GEF Small Grants Programme GEF Implementing Agency: UNDP Task Manager: Peter Hazlewood UNDP administers the GFF Small Grants Programme on behalf of the three GEF partner agencies. The program supports grassroots action that addresses global environmental problems. A key challenge in this effort is to identify community- based approaches that are relevant to people's daily lives and needs, while at the same time making a real contribution to the four GEF priority areas. The Small Grants Programme is operational in approximately 30 countries. To date, more than 125 projects around the world have been approved for funding, with many more in development or under review. Grants of up to $50,000 are awarded by local selection committees on a competitive basis to community groups, NGOs and NGO networks. 14 GEF Entry Implementing Executing Associated into Work Approval Total GEF Share Country Project Name/Number Agency Agency Participation Program Date t Duration Cost of Cost Co-financingtt Status Burkina Optimizing Biological UNDP Govt of 12/92 9/94 5 years $2.5 $2.5 None Project Document drafted and review in process.
