FAO - GIRL GUIDES & GIRL
SCOUTS - SMALL GRANTS
AVAILABLE FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
6 May 2010
The Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) and WAGGGS invite Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
around the world to apply for a small grant of up to 250 USD for their projects
to help
save the planet.
The projects can be related to
adaptation (helping people cope with climate change) or mitigation (preventing
further CO2 emissions). If the project contains a food security or agriculture
theme this would be advantageous but it does not have to be mandatory. In
addition projects which also contain inter-country collaboration would also be
well considered.
There are many possibilities what
you could do with your grant, like planting trees or crops, setting up a
recycling system in your meeting hall or school, hosting a discussion in your
community, run an activity on Centenary
Celebration day on the topics ‘plant’, implement a GAT project related to
environment and many more.
Criteria to receive FAO/WAGGGS mini project funds:
- Details
of a dedicated contact person with access to email and a bank account are
provided
- The
project is related to climate change and food security
- The
project is planned and conducted by young WAGGGS members (under 7 to 25
years old) with the help of their leaders as required
- The
project is conducted during the period of June 2010-June 2011
- The
funding will be spent exclusively on the project as outlined
- Project
reports and other available documentation such as pictures are submitted
immediately after completion of the project and will be used by WAGGGS and
FAO for publication and promotion
- If
the project cannot be conducted as outlined below WAGGGS will be consulted
immediately to agree further steps
