Currently, the GEF is the largest public funder worldwide of projects aiming to generate global environmental benefits, while supporting national sustainable development initiatives. The GEF has allocated US$10.5 billion, supplemented by more than US$51 billion in co- financing for over 2,700 projects. Additionally, through its Small Grants Programme (SGP), the GEF has also made available more than 14,000 small grants directly to civil society organizations totaling US$634 million. The GEF unites 182 member governments - in partnership with international institutions, civil society organizations, and the private sector- and its resources go directly to developing countries for projects related to biodiversity, climate change, international waters, land degradation, persistent organic pollutants, and the ozone layer (the last concerning only countries with economies in transition).
