UNEP - UN Environment Programme: Global Framework on Chemicals Fund

[Ana Isabel]

"Strategically, the Global Framework on Chemicals Fund will prioritise proposals that:

a) Strengthen institutional capacities for implementing and mainstreaming the safe and sustainable management of chemicals and waste at the national level - either broadly or in relation to specific issues of concern;

b) Target high impact sectors along the value-chain - such as electronics, textiles, agriculture and construction - by promoting safe and sustainable practices for health, labour and/or the environment;

c) Have a positive impact for people and the environment, and that are implemented at a regional or global level, or with transboundary impacts.

Eligibility Criteria 

1. There are two possible types of applicants under the Fund: 

a) Governments: Eligible governments include those listed as developing economies, LDCs, SIDS or CEIT in the annexes to the United Nations World Economic Situation and Prospects Report, that have endorsed or given other appropriate formal recognition of and support for the Global Framework on Chemicals;

b) Civil society networks: On an exceptional basis, and with regard to the resources and administrative capacity available, representatives of civil society networks may apply to the Global Framework on Chemicals Fund subject to the agreement of the countries hosting the projects or programmes.

2. The project must meet the following conditions to be considered for funding:

a) Is well-conceptualized, complete and clearly aligned;

b) Builds the long-term institutional capacity for the management of chemicals and waste nationally, regionally, or internationally;

c) Demonstrates a plan for ensuring long-term sustainability (exit strategy);

d) Provides at least 25% co-financing, which may include financial as well as in-kind contributions;

e) Does not duplicate projects or programmes already funded under other bilateral or multilateral funding mechanisms;

f) Includes a clear approach to gender mainstreaming and complies with UNEP’s environmental and social safeguard standards.  

3. At the concept note stage any designated focal point (i.e. government representative from an environment, health, labour or other ministry) can endorse the application.

The second round of application has a closing date for concept notes (stage 1) on 15 December 2025. 

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to submit a full project proposal (stage 2) by the middle of June 2026."
