The Small Grants Program (GEF/SGP) in Egypt operates through a national strategy, which aims to achieve integration with the National Environment Plan.

The program performs its tasks through a working mechanism that relies on a team composed of the national coordinator and his assistant. The committee sets the national strategy for the program, reviews project proposals submitted by associations, approves who meets the technical and financial criteria of the program, and then follows up on the implementation of these projects.

No project can be funded until the association obtains the required administrative approval from the Ministry of Social Solidarity to accept the grant.
