GEF ID 11049: Circular and POPs-free Plastics in AfricaResearch Grant for Female Postgraduate Researcherson Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in Articles<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

Introduction<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

The project \"GEFID 11049: Circular and POPs-free Plastics in Africa\u201d (AfricaPlastics) invites applications from eligible female postgraduate students in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa,Uganda and Zimbabwe for research grants of up to USD 2,000 to support research that advances the environmentally sound management of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)and other hazardous chemicals in plastics and other articles, including circularity approaches across the plastics value chain in Africa.Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the United NationsEnvironment Programme (UNEP), and executed by the Basel Convention Coordinating Centre for the African Region (BCCC-Africa), the AfricaPlastics Project promotes innovative research and practical solutions that contribute to safer chemicals management, sustainable materials use and the transition towards a circular plastics economy in Africa.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n
