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.

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.
