Dear subscriber,
Blue Action Fund is pleased to announce that a new open Call for Proposals was launched on 4 February at the 5th International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5). This Call will focus on the ‘Asia-Pacific’ region, covering the following countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam.
Blue Action Fund seeks to support projects that result in newly established or better managed marine protected areas (MPAs) as well as enhanced livelihood conditions in coastal communities.
With this Call, Blue Action Fund anticipates funding projects with a total volume of approximately EUR 20 million. If you would like to apply for this Call, please submit your Concept Note to us by 8 September 2023. For more information, please visit our website.
Please ensure that you carefully read Blue Action Fund’s Grant Procedures Manual and the Environmental and Social Management System, which both provide detailed information on funding objectives and requirements.
