As part of its continued support to the CaMPAM N & F and in keeping with recent global initiatives such as the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN) which aims to develop MPA networks of demonstration sites, UNEP-CEP has established two small grants fund (SGF) within the SPAW sub-programme of the CEP which hosts the CaMPAM N&F. The SGF focuses on MPA strengthening and can provide support as either financial assistance or technical assistance, up to a maximum of US$8,000. The projects are funded by UNEP-CEP, and experts within the CaMPAM N & F contribute to the selection and review of the project proposals and final reports.

The goals of the SGF are as follows:

* To strengthen the management capability of marine protected area (MPA) managers in the WCR;
* To strengthen the capacities of institutions managing MPAs;
* To develop and implement strategies for increased involvement of stakeholders in MPA management;
