The document provides an annual report on activities of the Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme in Jamaica from July 2007 to June 2008. 16 projects were approved totaling $458,000, focusing on biodiversity conservation, land degradation prevention, and climate change mitigation. For biodiversity, 7 projects protected over 225 hectares and 56 species. For land degradation, 8 projects used techniques like high tunnel houses and terracing across 108 hectares. For climate change, 1 project promoted renewable energy adoption. The projects engaged over 1500 community members and benefited over 40 households with livelihoods and skills training.

1. ANNUAL COUNTRY PROGRAMME REPORT-[JAMAICA]
1. PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
This report gives details of activities undertaken by the Global Environment Facility Small Grants
Programme (GEF SGP) in Jamaica, during the first year of the fourth operational phase (OP4-Yr 1) of the
GEF. This spans the period July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. While the report is geared towards giving
information on projects approved during the reporting period, occasional reference may be made to
projects approved outside of this period, but which have significantly contributed to the outputs of OP4-Yr
1. In these instances, clear distinction will be made to avoid confusion.
In Jamaica, the GEF focal areas of interest are biodiversity, climate change (mitigation) and land
degradation. In addition to these, Jamaica is one of 10 participating countries in the United Nations
Development Programme/Global Environment Facility (UNDP/GEF) Community-Based Adaptation (to
Climate Change) Project (2007-2012). On October 24, 2008, SGP Jamaica received notification of its
grant allocation in the sum of USD485, 000. This figure comprised USD 255,000 from SGP core funds
and USD230, 000 from Jamaica’s RAF Biodiversity Country allocation. Over the reporting period, a total
of 18 projects were approved, with two differed for funding during OP4-Yr 2 (July 1, 2008-June 30,
20009). The 16 projects under implementation, accounted for USD 458,000 (94%) of the 2007/2008
allocation. This disaggregates to USD 203,000 from the RAF Biodiversity allocation and the full sum of
USD255, 000 from the Core SGP allocation. Individual grants varied in amounts from a maximum of
USD40, 000 to a minimum of USD 17,000; the average being just over USD 25, 000.Table 1 below

2. As seen in table 1 (above), of the 16 projects approved in the reporting period, there were 7 biodiversity
projects, 8 land degradation projects and 1 climate change mitigation project. The total funding for
biodiversity projects amounted to USD203, 000, while USD 225,000 and USD30,000 were committed to
land degradation and climate change projects respectively (please see figure 1).

The recipient grantees count 6 Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and 10 Community-based
Organizations (CBOs). Of these entities, 6 (3 CBOs, 3 NGOs) are headed by women, and in others
women play key roles. This further confirms the verdict of the Country Programme strategy (CPS) that
gender equality is not a major issue, where beneficiaries of grant funding is concerned. In Jamaica, sites
where significant global environmental benefits can be secured include biodiversity hotspots, protected
areas and forest reserves. These areas not contiguous but scattered across the 10,991 km2 of the
island’s land area.
Figure 2. Shows current projects under execution. With the exception of 2 projects (Hope
Pastures, and Cotterwood), all projects commenced during OP4 Yr.1
Page 2 of 10

3. Given the disparate locations efforts have been made to focus activities within a number of these areas
on a phased basis, in the reporting period Further, since, chief environmental problems are related to
more than one focal area, a hybrid between a geographic and thematic focus has been selected. In this
way a portion of the country grant allocation has been used for grant-making country-wide in areas
where maximum global benefits can be attained (up to 50%) and the remainder of the allocation oriented
towards priority themes as determined (and periodically revised) by the National Steering Committee.
Only three new projects sited in Kingston; the rest are located in other parishes allowing for greater
penetration into rural areas. Figure 2 (above) shows a map of current projects under execution.
2. OUTCOMES AND IMPACT
2.1 OUTCOME- Biological Diversity Conservation-
Improved community management of protected areas and enhanced conservation of endemic
threatened, and endangered species
Under this GEF focal area, work was guided by priorities identified in SGP (Jamaica) Country Strategy for
utilization of Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) Funds. A total of 7 projects were approved in the sum
of USD 203,000, increasing the reach to 225 hectares of globally significant biodiversity area protected or
sustainably managed. Projects have been sited in at least three biodiversity global hotspots including,
the Cockpit Country, Dolphin Head Mountains (both in Western Jamaica) and the Portland Bight
Protected Area (Central Jamaica). This has resulted in the protection of over 56 globally significant
species (including the West Indian Whistling Duck, the Giant Swallowtail butterfly and Thatch Palm).
There has been wide engagement of community members in sensitization and training on biodiversity
conservation and community management as manifested by the participation of over 1500 persons in
over 55 communities. Already more than 40 households have benefitted from income generating activities
of projects (including but not limited to short-term employment), and have acquired skills necessary to
secure longer term sustainable livelihoods. The expectation is that the number of livelihood options will
increase significantly when projects once completed.

4. Individual projects have addressed the development of protocols for monitoring of endangered species
and improved community wetland management (JAM/OP4/1/RAF/07/11), the restoration of an inland
Pond (see figure 3 above) that has led to the regeneration of pond life, as manifested by increased in
counts of endemic species (including Jamaican slider turtle) and other marine species
(JAM/OP4/1/RAF/07/02). Other projects have disseminated biodiversity lesson plans to over 25 schools
(JAM/OP4/1/RAF/07/10), developed eco-tourism attractions and marketing programme that redounds to
the benefit of communities (JAM/OP4/1/RAF/07/08) and planted endemic tree species and timber trees
(JAM/OP4/1/RAF/07/08, JAM/OP4/1/RAF/07/10).

2.2 OUTCOME- LAND DEGRADATION PREVENTION- SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT
Capacity built in Sustainable Agriculture (in Eastern and Central Parishes) with significant
progress made in drought mitigation, prevention of soil erosion and generation of alternative
livelihoods.
During the reporting period, the SGP country programme promoted sustainable land management
through the introduction and strengthening of new techniques in sustainable agriculture, and improved
watershed management. These were targeted outcome as outlined in the CPS. A total of eight projects
were approved with advanced implementation in three, while five commenced activities late in the
reporting period (June 2008). A total of USD255, 000 was committed in grant funds, with majority (5
projects) sited in eastern and central parishes (see figure 2 above). More than 108 hectares is under
sustainable land management through reforestation or improved farming techniques which avoid mal
practices such as slash and burn agriculture. This also increases the potential for carbon sequestration.
Reports indicate that more than 70 persons have already received direct benefit from the projects,
including new livelihoods, (comprising 15 females, 40 males and 15 children), while a total of 59 persons
have benefitted by now from training and other capacity building activities.
Four projects have focused on the use of high tunnel houses (HTHs) technology. The HTHs have
allowed crop cultivation in a weather proof, and pest free environment. Experiments have also been done
with new designs, leading to improved construction and notably, significant heat mitigation
(JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/07, JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/03). Additionally, one project (JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/03)
has implemented a very successful drought mitigation initiative, which was presented as a case study to
the United Nations Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR). Gravity fed irrigation has been merged with
the use of solar power to provide reliable watering of crops even when the national grid experiences
disruptions. Savings in electricity costs amounts to over USD110 per month. The employment of other soil
media including dried coconut husks (in grow bags) has also improved drainage and increased water and
nutrient recycling, while decreasing capital costs to the farmer. It also reduces the pressure on the soil
allowing greater time for recovery and even use of marginal lands for agriculture (see figure 3).

5. The production of organic manure has also been undertaken by another project
(JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/01). This is produced by vermi-composting through combining the droppings from
livestock (chicken), with shredded farm, and domestic waste (including cardboard), and allowing organic
decomposition by worms. Experiments are also underway to use the leachate from the vermi-compost as
an organic insecticide. Individuals have also been trained in gabion basket technology under this project,
which has proven to be particularly effective in reducing land slippage and soil erosion in areas of high
elevation, even if rainfall is high. Another project (JAM/06/11) which was approved in OP3, but only
commenced implementation in OP4 (November 2007) has successfully used old tyres to create an
effective terracing mechanism to halt soil erosion, and soil loss (see figure 5). The tyre bonding has
proven to be very effective in this location, and has been used as an alternative to the more expensive
options of contour stone walls. A nursery has also been repaired under this initiative, and it used to train
mentally challenged students at the school in new techniques in horticulture and agriculture. The nursery
also produces plants for sale and hence generation of alternative livelihoods. Cash crops are grown on
the farm and intercropping practiced (planting of ground and tree crops in the same plot) as a means of
preventing crop failure due to soil erosion. A collection of culinary herbs are also being grown on the farm,
and these products are in high demand in the hotel industry.

2.3.1 OUTCOME- CLIMATE CHANGE (Mitigation)
Adoption of renewable energy in eastern and central parishes, as a supplement to reversing
unsustainable human practices.
Jamaica has a responsibility under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) to take steps to reduce its emission of green house gases as part of its climate mitigation
efforts. Unsustainable practices including, deforestation, over-reliance on fossil fuel, and indiscriminate
burning have the collective impact of increasing emissions of greenhouse gases by sources and reducing
removal by sinks. Additionally, deforestation increases susceptibility to land slides and soil erosion
contributing to the degradation of land and the physical vulnerability of people in surrounding areas. This
vulnerability is exacerbated in areas already prone to natural hazards and where human practices (such
as slash and burn agriculture) increase the incidence of tree removal. One project
(JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/05) funded in the sum of USD30,000 has tackled this directly. In Dallas Castle, an
area very prone to landslides, a women led CBO has engaged women and young people in the
application of renewable energy (solar and biogas) and soil conservation methodology. The project will
implement sustainable agriculture techniques (similar to those outlined in section 2.2 above), as an
alternative to hill side farming. Farm refuse along with other waste will be fed to a bio-digester to produce
methane. This along with a solar energy system already in place (financed through co-financing) will
provide renewable energy to totally power agro-processing and other activities at the community centre.
Another project (JAM/OP4/1/RAF/08/01) is integrating the use of solar energy into the operation of a
nature trail that is sited in one of the island’s most premier watersheds (Dunn’s River watershed). As also
noted in section 2.2, a solar pump installed on a farm (JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/03), is being used to power
irrigation of crops with harvested rain water. This has resulted both in reduction of greenhouse gases and
also savings in electricity costs of more than USD110 per month. The idea has been circulated to other
local and regional farmers (a presentation was made at a regional CaFAN1 workshop in Barbados).
Significant interest has been generated and efforts are underway made to replicate the use of the
technology.
2.3.2 OUTCOME-CLIMATE CHANGE (Adaptation)
Jamaica is one of 10 participating counties in the UNDP/GEF Community-based Adaption (to climate
change) project (CBA), which is funded by resources under the Strategic Priority on Adaptation. The five
year (2007-2012) initiative has a potential allocation of USD400,000 (maximum) per country. Each
country is expected to fund between 8 and 20 projects that generate global environmental benefits while
improving the resilience of ecosystems to climate change including variability. The objective of the CBA in
Jamaica as outlined in the CBA Country Programme Strategy (CCPS) is to integrate climate change risks
into sustainable community management of natural resources. The initial and second National
communications of Jamaica to the UNFCCC have identified Agriculture and Coastal Resources as priority
sectors and these will be the focus of sectoral activities under the CBA. During the reporting period five
concepts were received, and three technically cleared. One project proposal developed from planning
grant (CBA/JAM/SPA/08/01) seeks to “Reduce Climate Change-Driven Erosion and Landslide Risks
through Sustainable Agriculture for Safer Slopes (in the Blue mountains)”. The proposal was circulated to
the other 9 participating countries as best practice example and is pending submission to the National
Coordinating Committee of the CBA.
3. CO-FINANCING
Over the review period, through three co-financing agreements, the sum of USD 103,000 was availed to
the SGP Jamaica. Details of the contributions are outlined in table 4 below. Two of agreements were
through parallel funding from National Environmental Funds and the third via joint programming with the

7. UNDP. Other efforts were made to secure funding from the Japanese International Cooperation Agency
(JICA), the Japanese Embassy, the European Union (EU) and the Forest Conservation (National) Fund. It
is hoped that these efforts will bear fruit in OP4-Yr 2. It should be noted that negotiations for, and the
duration of, funding agreements in general are not synchronized with the GEF Financial year. Challenges
associated with this are elaborated in section 5.1 (below).

4. MAINSTREAMING, UPSCALING, REPLICATION
The SGP in Jamaica embarked on an initiative of grantee exchange and sharing of experiences with
other donors. To date 10 projects have benefitted from referrals made to other donors (as outlined in
section 3 above). Other projects have also been able to leverage non-GEF funding due to the support
committed by SGP. Project JAM/OP4/1/RAF/08/02 provides one instance of this. The project in Christiana
JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/03 (through Devon Farmers Resource Centre) has been selected as the mother
farm for one of the green house clusters being set up by the Ministry of Agriculture through the Rural
Agricultural Development Authority (RADA). It will serve farmers in the adjoining parishes of Clarendon,
St. Ann, Trelawny and St. Elizabeth in areas such as Cascade Lorrimers, Alston Baillieston, Spaldings,
Albert Town (please see figure 6). Another grantee, the Portland Environment Protection Association
(PEPA) based on the success of a previous SGP project (JAM/06/07) helped with project development,
and now sits on the steering committee of a medium-size GEF funded (IWCAM) project that is addressing
watershed management in the parish of Portland. The Jeffrey Town Farmers Association
(JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/01), through equipment and funding from United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), has set up a community radio station (called JET fm). The grantee
uses this medium to share best practices learnt in agriculture and sustainable land management with
other farmers and community members in the surrounding communities and beyond.

8. To observe the 3rd Anniversary of the launch of the SGP in Jamaica, a forum was hosted on June 9,
2008, under the theme “Energy efficiency and Sustainable Agriculture: Pathways to Sustainable
Development”. The event brought together GEF Implementing agencies, Government Representatives,
past and current grantees, donor agencies, NSC members, academia and the media, among other
stakeholders. In the first session we presented the accomplishments of the programme to date, as well as
made appeals for continued support and co-financing. This was very well received. We also informed the
audience of the UNDP/GEF CBA project that is being implemented using the mechanism of the SGP.
The occasion was also used to sign 7 new MoAs, which was highly praised by the RR, GEF Focal
Operational Point as well as the keynote speaker the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture
and Lands. The event was extensively covered by the media (over 14 media houses attended). Kindly
see story captured in one of our daily papers, which is also posted on their website, and spotlighted on
the SGP global website.
http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/html/20080609T220000-
0500_136557_OBS_SEVEN_NGOS_GET_UNDP_GRANTS.asp .
A symposium on sustainable agriculture was also convened, which showcased among other things
lessons learnt from projects funded by GEF SGP (JAM/OP3/2/06/14, JAM/OP4/1/CORE/07/03). We had
representation from a number of very influential local, national and regional agencies, as well as a
number of grass roots community groups. The discussants included representatives from the Ministry of
Agriculture, the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), and the Caribbean Agricultural
Development and Research Institute (CARDI). There was unanimous endorsement of our plans to
formalise a draft paper on sustainable agriculture out of this session. This will be peer reviewed and
presented to the Ministry of Agriculture and the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA). This
could serve as a blue print for agricultural policy at a time when there is growing concern for food security.
Both events were complemented by displays mounted by SGP grantees, the RADA, and the Petroleum
Corporation of Jamaica (PCJ). The latter show cased among other things, outcomes from a UNDP project
focussed on energy efficiency in hospitals and schools. The UNDP very kindly co-financed the event.

9. 5. LESSONS LEARNT, CHALLENGES OR OTHER MATTERS
5.1 Lessons learnt
In responding to the Joint Evaluation (2007) recommendations for global SGP, the Jamaica country
programme has taken a number of steps. These are elaborated below:
Improved reporting and financial management: In preparation for an audit during OP4, the reporting
requirements for projects have been improved, and the programme has attempted to comply with all the
reporting protocols of CPMT/UNOPS. Templates for project interim and final reports have been revised,
and additional financial reporting is required. A special MS Excel spreadsheet with built in formulas has
been circulated and is being used by all grantees. The NSC is kept thoroughly briefed and provide
feedback and guidance on the financial management of the programme.
Handling conflict of Interest: Care has been taken not to award project in which NSC members have
direct stake. No such projects were considered or approved in the reporting period.
Submission of Annual report: SGP Jamaica supports the move to submit annual programme reports. It
envisages that timely reporting will be adhered to.
Improved Monitoring and Evaluation and website updating: The programme has intensified its efforts in
monitoring and evaluation. There has been more active involvement of NSC members, and reports on all
field trips are circulated within 1 week of completion. Website updating has also improved, although there
is need for improvement in this area. This could be significantly addressed once staff replacement is
done.
5.2 Challenges or other matters
Among the challenges encountered over the review period are the following:
I. Late receipt of allocation of grant funds: Jamaica’s allocation for 2007/2008 was received on
October 24, 2007. This was well after the last scheduled NSC approval meeting, and significantly
curtailed the interlude over which grant making was possible. Uncertainties regarding the amount
and receipt of funds (from GEF/CPMT) also affected negotiations for and fulsome use of leveraged
co-financing. Further, given set times for call and review periods of other local donors, SGP grantee
experienced difficulties (and were disadvantaged) in accessing counterpart funding. It is hoped that
the GEF will allow for consistent, predictable and timely release of funding.
II. Expiry of Co-financing before end of GEF financial: In general donor funding is not synchronized
with the GEF financial year. In many cases (especially with the UNDP) funding expires at the end of
a calendar year, while SGP grant making is still progressing. Gaps between negotiations for new
funds, therefore limits available co-financing at the start of each calendar year and also timely
website reporting of same.
III. Cuts to admin budget: The significant cuts to the global administrative budget pose serious
challenges to SGP Jamaica. This is further compounded by the fact that most donors are not
interested in funding administrative activities of the programme.
IV. Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) challenges: In keeping with the mandate for cost-effectiveness of
field monitoring travel, direct re-imbursements have been adopted and the maximum number of
trips is combined as much as possible. The latter measure however poses challenges to NSC
participation, especially in cases where multiple overnights are necessary.
V. Difficulties Website update: during the reporting period, there were a number of times when the
SGP website could not be updated from our end. This affected timely updating of records,
especially at times which were scheduled for this activity.
Page 9 of 10

10. 6. WAY FORWARD
A. Priorities
Over the next reporting period (July 1, 2008-June 30, 2009) SGP Jamaica will intensify efforts to secure global environmental benefits in the GEF
focal areas of biodiversity, climate change (adaptation and mitigation) and land degradation. We endeavour to achieve a more balanced portfolio of
projects (in GEF focal areas), especially in respect to number of climate change mitigation projects. More active implementation of CBA projects, and
due reporting on same are planned. SGP Jamaica has commenced discussions with the UNDP (Jamaica) CO to provide monthly supplements for its
Newsletter and will pursue this fully. This will provide greater visibility for SGP, enhance knowledge sharing among all stakeholders, improve
collaboration between UNDP and SGP, and allow for feedback with constituents. We will endeavour to secure additional co-financing, while fully
utilizing funds committed under current agreements. At least one major knowledge management publication is targeted, and this will be circulated to
senior policy makers, among other stakeholders. Monitoring and evaluation will also be further enhanced with more active participation of NSC
members.
B. Funds Needed
Given strong competition for grant funds, Jamaica estimates that its optimal grant allocation for 2008/2009 is USD500,000. This could be a composite
of USD250 each for Core and RAF allocations.
