We have extended the application deadline for the 2017 round of the Green Action Fund (GAF) until Friday 19 May 2017. Thank you to those of you who have already sent us your applications.

The Green Action Fund is a collaborative project by Consumers International and the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) to promote sustainable consumption.

Members are invited to apply for a grant to carry out consumer awareness and advocacy activities under the theme 'Safer, more sustainable food for all'. Utilising local expertise and networks, members promote local, practical solutions to global consumer issues.

The programme is open to members in developing countries and transitional economies to assist them in carrying out their own campaigns to achieve these ends.

"This programme is very strategic for consumer groups especially on increasing their quality of life. Green Action Week is very important and relevant for the future." - GAF participant Yogyakarta Consumer Institute in Indonesia.

All good wishes,


Amanda Long
