The Small-scale Initiatives Programme for North African Civil Society Organisations (PPI OSCAN)

The Small-scale Initiatives Programme for North African Civil Society Organisations, known by its French acronym PPI OSCAN, was established in 2014. Hosted by the Mediterranean office of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, or IUCN Med, and operating across Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia, PPI OSCAN seeks to strengthen the technical, administrative and financial capacity of emerging environmental civil society. It does this through providing small grants for conservation projects; building grantee administrative, technical and financial competence; and facilitating experience sharing and networking at national and regional levels.
