Overview of concept notes for the implementation of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions for the biennium 2024-2025
The Secretariat makes available an overview of concept notes for voluntary contributions to the Technical Cooperation Trust Fund of the Basel Convention (BD) and the Special Voluntary Trust Funds of the Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions (RV, SV) for the implementation of the Programmes of Work (PoW) of the three conventions, as approved by their respective conferences of the Parties in 2023.
The Secretariat has developed concept notes for mandated PoW activities that require voluntary funding. The notes contain a brief outline of the activities to be undertaken under the respective PoW as well as their indicative budgets.
Donors who are interested in contributing to the trust funds of the three conventions are invited to download relevant concept notes.
The Secretariat will be pleased to engage, if appropriate, in developing full-fledged project proposals for the respective activities.
Please contact the Resource Mobilization Focal Point of the Secretariat, Mr Frank Moser, should you need any further information (tel.: +41 (76) 691 15 19; +41 22 917 8951, e-mail: frank-michael.moser@un.org), with copy to Marijana Todorovic (marijana.todorovic@un.org) and Anna Bolengo (anna.bolengo@un.org).
The Secretariat greatly appreciates the contributions from donor countries and other partners which enables the Secretariat to continue its support to developing country Parties and Parties with economies in transition in their efforts to implement the provisions of the conventions.
