As part of the implementation of the regional component of the WACA ResIP program, the Regional Partnership for Coastal and Marine Conservation (PRCM), in collaboration with UEMOA, the World Bank, and several technical partners, is launching two calls for proposals aimed at strengthening the resilience of West African coastal zones.
These initiatives are conducted through a competitive, transparent, and inclusive process, and aim to mobilize local and scientific expertise in support of sustainable coastal management.
Call for Proposals for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs)
This call seeks to identify and support innovative, inclusive, and high-impact projects led by civil society organizations (NGOs, community networks, women’s platforms, local associations, etc.).
Projects submitted must contribute to:
