SMILO (Small Islands Organisation) supports small islands of less than 150 km² in their sustainable development and management of their resources. It supports the integrated management of island territories in the areas of water & sanitation, waste, energy, biodiversity, landscapes and heritage.

The “Sustainable Islands” label rewards positive local dynamics and sustainable practices. SMILO provides additional support through the Islands Fund, which finances concrete and sustainable operations on the ground.

In order to strengthen cooperation and solidarity between islands, SMILO also animates an international network of islands (46 in 20 countries) and island partners located in Europe, the Mediterranean, West Africa, the Indian Ocean and South-East Asia!

SMILO joins forces with Blue to launch a new Call for proposals in cooperation with the Conservatoire du Littoral in May 2023.

The call from the SMILO Islands Fund is directed to small islands actively engaging in the labelling process. It additionally opens to the members working on small islands with identified holistic territorial approaches by island communities (membership validated with SMILO).
