Ämne: Launch of the second round of the Global Framework on Chemicals Fund
Dear Madam or Sir,
We would like to inform you that the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC) Fund will soon launch its second call for project proposals! If you're working to strengthen chemicals and waste management in a developing country, this is a major opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Grants between $300,000 and $800,000 will be available for projects up to three years long. Whether you're focused on improving policies, building institutional capacity, or advancing safer alternatives, the Fund is here to support your efforts. This round includes a simpler two-step application process: first, submit a short concept note. If selected, you’ll be invited to submit a full proposal—with expert feedback to guide you.
The Fund was created to help countries put the Global Framework on Chemicals into action. Thanks to the generous contributions of donors, the Fund is already helping drive progress—and your country or organization could be next.
Earlier this year, the Fund awarded its first four grants, supporting:
- A regional shift to agroecology in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania
- Safer pesticide practices in Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Senegal
- Stronger national systems and data tools in Peru and Colombia
- GHS implementation in El Salvador and Honduras
Two of these projects are being implemented through Basel Convention Regional Centers.
The next round opens on 30 September and closes on 15 December 2025. The launch will be accompanied by a webinar (event page), which will take place twice:
- The morning session (30 September, 10:00 – 12:00 CEST) of the event will be conducted in English in cooperation with the Geneva Environment Network. To register and join the event click here
- The afternoon session (1 October, 14.00-16.00 CEST) will be held in English with simultaneous translations into French and Spanish. Further information and a registration link will be provided shortly through the event page.
Please share this news widely with your networks—and if you’re eligible, we strongly encourage you to apply!
We have also developed a set of 9 social media cards available in 7 languages. Please download them here and share through your communication channels.
