On 9 June, UNDP published a South African call for community projects addressing water, waste and energy. Planned grants ranged from $25,000 to $40,000. The deadline was 25 June 2026; this call is closed.

Our perspective

The approach highlights the value of explaining a problem, a workable solution and community participation clearly. Eligibility requirements still apply.
