Country Programme Strategies
The purpose of the CPS is to focus and to achieve impacts in a dynamic environment of competing needs. The CPS is the primary document which clearly articulates the platform for programming in each country. It is a guide to programme and project development, lays the basis for project implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and is a vehicle for developing and maintaining a results oriented programme. The CPS identifies the project impacts, outcomes and outputs. The CPS also identifies basic project eligibility criteria and delineates the indicators that will be used in determining the success of the programme and the lessons learned. The CPS in summary is an impact driven and results oriented document, developed through a participatory process for operations of the GEF SGP in any country for a minimum period of three years.

The CPS must also assist the SGP in meeting its primary objectives of environmental sustainability; poverty alleviation; and community empowerment. SGP gives grants to CBOs and NGOs to work towards these objectives in the five GEF Focal Areas of Biodiversity Conservation; Climate Change Mitigation; Protection of International Waters; Prevention of Land Degradation; and Elimination of Persistent Organic Pollutants.
