Request for Information: Addressing Ocean Plastics in Peru

USAID would like to better understand from all interested parties including the private sector, non-governmental organizations, civil society, and government partners, the specific development challenges that have stymied Peru’s efforts to improve solid waste management, leading to high levels of plastic waste entering Peru’s rivers and ocean environments, and how USAID can partner with interested parties to address these challenges and support the Ministry of Environment (MINAM’s) Circular Economy Initiative.

USAID Peru is gathering information to identify locally-led solutions to inform the anticipated co-design of one or more new activities to address ocean plastics in Peru. Further details and guidance on how to respond to this request are available here.
