Excellency,
Dear Colleague,
Dear Madam and Sir,
We would like to bring to your kind attention the invitation the event “Global Framework on Chemicals Fund: Launch of the Second Round of Applications”, taking place online, on Tuesday 30 September 2025, from 10:00 to 12:00 CEST.
About THE EVENT
You are cordially invited to the event “Global Framework on Chemicals Fund: Launch of the Second Round of Applications” organized by the Global Framework on Chemicals Secretariat with the support of the Geneva Environment Network.
The Global Framework on Chemicals Fund will launch its second call for applications on 30 September 2025. The Fund aims to support countries in implementing this international agreement that guides governments 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. Civil society networks may also apply, provided they have an agreement with the relevant government. The Fund also encourages regional or multi-country applications.
The event will inform applicants about the Global Framework of Chemicals and its Fund, the Fund’s priorities, application forms and guide integrating multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral approaches.
Unlike the first call for applications, this round introduces a streamlined two-stage process. In a first stage, applicants submit a brief concept note outlining project goals, partners, and expected outcomes. Shortlisted applicants will then be invited to submit a full proposal, with expert feedback to help strengthen their submissions.
Applicants are encouraged to join the event to learn more about the application process. In addition to the webinar, a guidance document outlining the Fund’s scope, strategic priorities and eligibility criteria as well as application guidelines are available in English, French and Spanish.
The morning sessions of the event will be conducted in English only, while the afternoon session will be held in English with simultaneous translations into French and Spanish. Access to the translated webinar will be provided through a separate link on the Framework’s website.
