For this option, the following conditions apply:

• GIZ financing rules and regulations must be adhered to.
• The financing amount must be at least 250,000 EUR. Several PREVENT members or third parties can also join forces and pool smaller amounts. The pooled funds must be combined by one organisation, which will then be GIZ’s contractual partner.
• The scope and timeline of the funded activities will be agreed upon in a co-financing agreement.
• The PREVENT project quality criteria must be fulfilled (see above).

Example:

Company X would like to support activities to reduce marine litter in low- and middle-income countries. For this it has allocated 250,000 EUR for 2 years and would like the PREVENT Secretariat to administer the funds. The company would like to make use of the PREVENT Plastics Working Group to plan and implement the activities on its behalf. For this purpose, a contract (a so called co-financing agreement) is set up between GIZ and the company. The funds are used to finance projects in low- and middle-income countries. The company can decide to hand over all decisions regarding the selection of project ideas and locations to the PREVENT Waste Alliance (Secretariat, Working Groups and Steering Committee) or influence the selection by predefining certain criteria in the contract.

For this option, the following conditions apply:

• You take care of project administration and contracting and channel the funds directly to the implementing partners.
• The PREVENT network is used for project development and implementation.
• Activities are branded according to the PREVENT Waste Alliance Communication Guidelines. The PREVENT Secretariat will communicate the activities on all its channels, reaching a large audience of relevant stakeholders.
• The PREVENT project quality criteria must be fulfilled (see above).

Example:

You are a PREVENT member and have planned an initiative to promote the circular economy in Egypt. To increase the visibility of your initiative and establish contacts with relevant stakeholders in Egypt and globally, you would like to collaborate with the PREVENT Waste Alliance. If your project meets the PREVENT Waste Alliance project criteria, you can benefit from the support of the PREVENT Secretariat who will organise exchanges with members, brand the project with the PREVENT identity and communicate it for more visibility.
