The 7th Operational Phase (OP7) of the SGP aims “to promote and support innovative, inclusive and scalable initiatives, and foster multi stakeholder partnerships at the local level to tackle global environmental issues in priority landscapes and seascapes.” A key element of SGP’s implementation in OP7 is to develop landscape/seascape approaches within countries to better focus grant-making and promote strategic
programming and clustering of small grant projects with the aim to achieve greater impact and lead to synergies and opportunities for scaling up.
