Overseas Territories Challenge Fund

Launched under round 17, The Challenge Fund allows for new commitments of up to £1.5 million, over 3 years, for biodiversity projects in the Overseas Territories.

The OT Challenge Fund offers an opportunity for Overseas Territories, either on their own or in partnership with institutions from the metropolitan UK or other Overseas Territories (including Crown Dependencies), to carry out longer-term and more ambitious scoping projects, designed both to assess the likely degree of success of a main project, and to carry out some pilot implementation work as well. This is intended to ensure that main projects are better grounded, and have a much greater chance of sustained success.
