Call for Proposals: Waste Reduction and Circular Economy Development Grants Programme
Attached File: Circular Economy Grant Programme (Call for Proposals and Application Form)
The program "Green, Inclusive and Circular Economy: Waste Reduction and Recycling for Citizens` Health" is announcing a grant competition for Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), non-governmental, and civil society organizations to support the establishment of inclusive, equitable, and fair Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) waste management systems in Georgia.
The objective of the grant competition is to support organizations in implementing tangible and measurable actions for waste reduction and recycling. Applicants must demonstrate that their proposed activities address at least one of the seven waste streams targeted by this competition (used portable batteries and accumulators, used lead-acid batteries, waste oils, waste electric and electronic equipment, packaging, end-of-life tires, end-of-life vehicles). Priority will be given to initiatives that contribute to reducing waste generation, developing or strengthening source-separate collection systems, and/or expanding pre-treatment and recycling capacities, thereby decreasing landfill disposal and increasing resource recovery.
The grant program will primarily finance capital investments in infrastructure, equipment, and technologies, while also supporting operational improvements and the introduction of innovative service models, provided they are directly linked to strengthening waste management systems (collection, storage, transportation, treatment, recycling, reuse and/or recovery).
Applications are welcome from organizations with diverse operational profiles, including those whose comparative advantage lies in community engagement, system optimization, behavioural interventions, partnership models, or service innovation, provided that proposed actions demonstrate clear, measurable contributions to EPR waste reduction, collection, and/or recycling outcomes. Importantly, the proposed project must clearly demonstrate how it contributes to relevant waste stream (s) in line with at least one of the 4R principles (reduce, reuse, recycle, or recovery).
Under the program, the project team will provide technical and advisory support, as well as monitoring, to selected grantees to ensure effective implementation and the achievement of intended objectives.
