ADVANCING INDIGENOUS-LED ENERGY SYSTEMS: UNDP-GEF-SGP and REP Partnerships
Indigenous Peoples, comprising only 5% of the global population, account for one-third of the 900 million extremely impoverished individuals in rural areas. Ensuring access to energy for indigenous communities is crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), which aims to provide universal energy access. Unfortunately, Indigenous Peoples often remain overlooked in energy access discussions, leading to insufficient data and inadequate attention in major SDG 7 reports. Furthermore, renewable energy projects in Indigenous territories frequently disregard Indigenous rights, resulting in conflicts, displacement, and rights violations. To facilitate renewable energy access for indigenous peoples, REP has partnered with the GEF Small Grants Programmes, implemented by UNDP. This publication presents the results achieved through this partnership in various countries, including Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Nepal, Timor Leste, El Salvador, and Honduras.

Autonomisation des femmes : le Programme de Microfinancements du Fonds pour l’Environnement Mondial modernise une approche endogène de finance rurale pour la protection de la biodiversité
Le Programme de Microfinancements du Fonds pour l\'Environnement Mondial (PMF-FEM), avec le soutien financier du FEM, a octroyé une subvention de 35000 dollars de 2021 à 2023 à l\'ONG Nature Tropicale pour la conservation du lamantin d\'Afrique. En plus des campagnes de sensibilisation menées auprès des écogardes, des forces de l\'ordre, des pêcheurs et des magistrats, les femmes qui s\'engagent dans la protection des lamantins d\'Afrique bénéficient d\'un soutien financier pour des activités génératrices de revenus à travers un mécanisme appelé « Epargne Pour le Changement ».
