Action 24 Small Grants Facility: meet the projects
Action 24 supports 12 South African civil society initiatives that aim to engage with the South African Legislature, i.e. the Provincial Parliaments and the Parliament of South Africa, to address specific environmental or climate change related issues.

Greening Waterberg Project
Waterberg Environmental Justice Forum (WEJF)
Activism and Participation in Community Climate Change Environmental Justice.
Evidence- based advocacy supporting the passing of the organic and agro-ecology legislation and the amendment of Act 36 on pesticides.
South African Organic Sector Organisation (SAOSO)
Empowering communities to advocate for environmental sustainability.
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.
