The purpose of the BIOPAMA Small Technical Grants for Assessments (STGA) is to identify or update result-oriented priority actions for improved protected and conserved areas ‘management and governance, through new or updated quantified management and governance assessments and their associated enhancement plans.

STGAs will fund exclusively assessment for a maximum total value of ≤ EUR 20 000. The maximum duration of a project is 5 months but it can be shorter depending on the type of activities funded.

It is strongly recommended that all possible applicants for forthcoming BIOPAMA action component funding opportunities carry out a management and governance assessment that identifies such priorities for actions with associated enhancement plans. Only priorities identified by these decision-support tools will be eligible for funding for the calls to be organised in 2021.

Interested organisations are invited to read carefully the BIOPAMA STGA Guidelines for Applicants, available in English, French and Spanish, before applying.

An online information session in English was organised for interested stakeholders on 9 December 2020, 9-11 AM GMT. In case you missed it or want to review it, the recording of the event is available!
