A new full-sized GEF project for Socotra is under preparation
It is guided by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) of Yemen. The project is at its developmental stage and a GEF Project Preparation Grant (PPG) is available. UNEP has charged the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research, Frankfurt a.M., Germany (SGN) to lead and coordinate the implementation of the PPG towards the development of the full project proposal. The SGN has recruited a PPG team composed of renowned national and international experts which commenced work in December 2013. The PPG team has established a webpage which will be used as platform to inform the wider stakeholder community in a continuous fashion about the project progress.
