The Small Grants Facility aims to broaden public participation in environmental governance, by supporting local civil society organisations in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and the Western Cape in their efforts to get involved in law-making and oversight on environmental issues that affect them and the communities they work in.

The small grants enable these organisations to carry out activities such as fact-finding, dialogues with the law-makers, involvement in public participation processes, drafting of briefs/ submissions/ petitions, etc. This is expected to contribute to intensifying the voice of grassroots organisations in the legislative and oversight processes while ensuring that women and youth play a more active role in governance.
