The Global Framework on Chemicals Fund launched its first call for applications on 1 October 2024. The Fund aims to support countries in implementing this international agreement that guides countries and stakeholders in jointly addressing the lifecycle of chemicals, including products and waste.
The Fund provides financial support of 300,000 to 800,000 USD for an implementation period of up to three years. Governments from developing countries, Small Island Developing States, and countries with economies in transition can apply for funding, as can civil society networks, subject to an agreement with the respective government. The Fund also encourages regional or multi-country applications.
The webinars will support applicants in understanding the scope of the Fund as well as developing an application.
