Call Summary
Applications are open to small and medium sized, local, regional and national organizations. There will be two stages to the application process, with the first stage being an opportunity for applicants to share the concept and ideas behind their projects. The second stage will go into more depth about how the projects will work, and applicants will be supported through a helpdesk, webinars and workshops to make sure their application accurately demonstrates what the project hopes to achieve.
OCEAN supports a wide range of projects that work to protect the marine environment and reduce poverty. Projects can be based in any ODA-eligible country and proposals from in-country organizations that work directly with coastal communities are particularly encouraged.
All applications are welcomed – from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), research institutes and others.
Private sector and local government organizations aren’t eligible to receive funding from OCEAN, but are highly encouraged to partner with local non-profit organizations to support their projects.
Applicants can also find potential partners by joining this community.
