The Blue Grants Fund

 

In 2015, Seychelles committed to investing US$ 6.6 million in ocean conservation and climate adaptation projects over the next 20 years. In 2017, we launched our first call for proposal with a modest Blue Grants Fund. In 2017, we had US$ 200,000 available to disburse as grants. In 2018, this more than doubled. With the issuance of Seychelles’ sovereign Blue Bond, SeyCCAT was tasked with managing 20% of the US$ 15 million bond. The Blue Grants Fund grew by 3.5 times and as of 2018, SeyCCAT aims to disburse US$ 700,000. Although absorption was slow, we took significant action that made all the difference. As of 2019, we have successfully reached our disbursement goal.
