Clean Cities, Blue Ocean

CCBO-APS Philippines Updated Questions and Answers

In August 2019, the Clean Cities, Blue Ocean (CCBO) Program was launched to respond to the global crisis of ocean plastic pollution by targeting plastics directly at the source in cities and towns, specifically in rapidly urbanizing areas throughout low- and middle-income countries.

CCBO has just released an Annual Program Statement for the Philippines, which seeks Concept Papers from organizations that are interested and qualified to implement grants in the Philippines that support the program’s objectives. Grants will be awarded to select organizations that demonstrate effective, locally-led solutions and approaches that can stem the tide of ocean plastics pollution.

Download the full Annual Program Statement to learn how interested organizations can apply for grant consideration.

What Topics are Qualified?

CCBO is seeking grants that promote 3R practices (reducing, reusing, and recycling) and enhance solid waste management, ultimately reducing ocean plastics pollution. CCBO seeks grants that will:

  • Strengthen collection and aggregation capacity of waste and recyclables
  • Raise awareness of and support waste reduction, reuse, and recycling
  • Build collection action through partnerships with measurable, lasting impacts
  • Empower women, youth, independent waste collectors and handlers, and other underrepresented groups

Who Can Apply?

Eligible grantees may include non-governmental, civil society, or community-based organizations, private foundations and universities, and other not-for-profit organizations.

Guidelines and Deadline to Apply

Full guidelines and instructions for applications can be found in the Annual Program Statement.

The Annual Program Statement will be open for one year with six submission windows.

Round 2 Closing Date/Deadline: April 30, 2020
