Big news from the Global Framework on Chemicals Fund!

The Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC) Fund is about to launch its second call for project proposals to support low- and middle-income countries in addressing the urgent risks posed by hazardous chemicals and waste.

Grants ranging from $300,000 to $800,000 are available for projects up to three years in duration. A new two-stage application process begins with a short concept note. Shortlisted applicants will then be invited to submit a full proposal.

This round places greater focus on sustainability, multisectoral collaboration, and the potential to scale or replicate results. Civil society applications must include endorsement from the relevant national authority.

Join the webinars for applicants next Tuesday and Wednesday: https://www.unep.org/events/online-event/global-framework-chemicals-fun…
