Subject: Second call for pilot project proposals under Plastic Waste Partnership now open until 11 April 2022
Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
The second call for proposals for pilot projects under the Basel Convention’s Plastic Waste Partnership is
now open until Monday, 11 April 2022.
Pilot projects are to be implemented under the Basel Convention Partnership on Plastic Waste (PWP) to
improve and promote the environmentally sound management (ESM) of plastic waste and to prevent and
minimize its generation. The pilot projects are expected to deliver benefits for developing country Parties or
Parties with economies in transition and support the delivery of the overall activities of the Partnership working
group and, in particular, its four project groups on: i. Plastic waste prevention and minimization; ii. Plastic waste
collection, recycling and other recovery including financing and related markets; iii. Transboundary movements of
plastic waste; and iv. Outreach, education, and awareness-raising.
Proposals are welcomed from Parties and Basel and Stockholm Convention Regional and Coordinating
Centres, as well as any not-for-profit entities and non-Party States that have observer status under the Basel
Convention. Kindly note the following indicative budgets and timeframes:
• For national projects: Proposals can be submitted for an indicative budget of USD 50,000 to USD
180,000 with a timeframe of 12-24 months;
• For regional projects: Proposals can be submitted for an indicative budget of USD 300,000 to USD
500,000 with a timeframe of 18-24 months.
Further information, including the eligibility criteria for proponents and projects and the application
procedure, is available on the Basel Convention website at:
