Country Impact
National and Local Level Impact:
SGP Seychelles was launched in 2009 and since then has funded 10 projects which are all currently under implementation.
Slowly the programme is gaining momentum and is being recognised by Government as a mechanism for small community projects.
2 projects are directly working to influence national policies in recognising trainees of glass recycling as viable training worthy of government assistance; and piloting fisheries co-management which is a first for Seychelles.
