protocoles additionnels aux conventions de Genève
Voilà ce que j'ai trouvé.
Essayer une recherche sur «protocols additional to the geneva conventions environment "gp"».

This is a suggestion, but it may not be the right one for the context. When we are given so little context, we're really searching in the dark.

: You may be right. But, if this "GPs" refers to "Geneva Protocols", what do these have to do with "E" provisions? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Protocol

Good question. More research is required to determine if the "E" provisions are somehow related. The asker didn't give us much context.

As we don't know what the text is about, how are we supposed to know? If the asker had explained the context, we could have avoided guessing so much.

: How does "compliance with provisions" work with this? / Yes, but I don't see "code" in your suggestion. 1st doc does not contain "GP". The link to the 2nd is broken.

a code of Good Practices can easily contain environmental provisions.

Not all Green parties have been equally well prepared to meet the challenges of national government. Nor have they had equal chances of preparing themselves, because the institutional make-up of individual countries differs substantially. To be sure, all parties have experienced the opportunities and constraints of being in local government to a greater or lesser extent. However, local politics is not politicised to the same extent as regional or national government. Frequently, personal contacts and reputations may be more important than party affiliation or ideology, and the small number of activists in a local party branch may have ***rendered many formal provisions*** of grass roots democracy either superfluous or simply impractical [...]

: can't be: "GP" is in plural - says "GPs" in the ST. How many "Green Parties" are there supposed to be in one country?

Discussion
-- in which country is this happening?
-- Midstream Small Projects => "Midstream" of what exactly? - literal stream of water? or some other kind of "stream"? What kind of projects?
-- what kind of ST is it? A contract? A report? A policy document?
Also, agree with Germaine that the most likely place to find the decoding for "GPs" is somewhere else in the same document.
Comme on parle de "provisions", on peut présumer qu'il s'agit d'un document contractuel. Seulement, les "procédures générales" sont d'habitude plutôt administratives. Ce n'est peut-être pas impossible, mais je ne vois pas en quoi elles pourraient générer un "environmental improvement".
Le contexte fourni ne permet vraiment pas de faire un choix éclairé parmi les suggestions et d'autres possibilités.
