Protected: Advancing Circular Economy (ACE) Facility’s Second Call for Proposals

Only the lead applicant needs to submit a valid registration certificate. The Selection Committee favorably views submissions led by applicants from eligible Caribbean countries. However, if the “registration to operate” is lacking essential information, such as the year of establishment and type of organization, the certificate of registration from the HQ country should also be submitted.

The EbA Fund supports a ridge-to-reef approach, provided there is a clear benefit to coastal-marine ecosystems. Agroforestry can be a valid component of such projects, but it should contribute to the overall EbA goals and not be considered in isolation. Limitations may arise due to regulations governing land uses in protected areas, so these should be considered when planning the activities.

A single firm needs to act as lead applicant. This company would sign the Grant Agreement with the CBF if the submission is successful. The second company could contribute its expertise as a consortium partner. ALL project activities should be implemented in one or more of the nine eligible Caribbean islands

There is no specific recommendation. However it is important to select project sites that are accessible and manageable, and that all activities are achievable within the project timeline.
