This USAID Small Grants for Biodiversity grant is designed to support locally-led conservation efforts that simultaneously protect biodiversity and enhance community well-being. The program focuses on two key objectives. Firstly, it aims to enhance biodiversity conservation by fostering direct community engagement and ownership through participation, education, and the implementation of community-led projects and conservation agreements. Secondly, the grant seeks to strengthen local capacity for effective biodiversity conservation. This involves providing vital training and technical assistance to local organizations, building their ability to plan and manage conservation activities, supporting innovative research, and encouraging collaborative partnerships among local stakeholders. This initiative empowers communities to take an active role in environmental stewardship and sustainable development.
