It targets civil society organizations, NGOs, community organizations, local authorities, public institutions, universities and legally constituted research centres.
The initiative, which plans to fund up to 37 projects, is part of the Sustainable Ocean in West Africa (WASOP) Program, including its third pillar (WASOP3), implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in collaboration with the Regional Partnership for the Conservation of the Coastal and Marine Zone in West Africa (WPRCM).
It relies on five priorities. These are the conservation and restoration of ecosystems, the strengthening of marine protected areas, climate adaptation, participatory governance and the development of a sustainable blue economy.
Two categories of funding are provided. The first provides a maximum envelope of 60,000 euros for 20 projects, while the second offers up to 100,000 euros for 17 projects. The selected projects will have a maximum period of 24 months for their implementation.
