IIED 2023 People and Conservation Learning Group (PCLG) - Small Grants Initiative

The People and Conservation Learning Group is excited to announce the launch of a small grants initiative for 2023, funded by the Arcus Foundation and delivered by International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). Applicants will be able to apply for grants up to US$7,500 to support people and great ape conservation in three great ape range states: Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. At the heart of this small grants initiative run by the People and Conservation Learning Group (PCLG) is supporting the self-determined priorities of local communities and Indigenous groups. Therefore we do not prescribe the type of activities that will be considered for funding, provided that the funded activities support issues and challenges related to both people and great apes (see criteria below). This page provides information on the initiative and how to apply. Applicants are encouraged to find out more about the history of PCLG, how it has evolved into a small grants initiative that supports locally-led action and who we are by visiting the project page.
