EACDS Lot B Assignment: Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance Technical Assistance Facility Scoping Support - Ghana On 16th April 2018, the UK Government announced the establishment of the Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance (CCOA) to eliminate single use plastic and address marine plastic pollution. To create change on the global stage, under the Commonwealth Blue Charter, the United Kingdom and Vanuatu are working together to lead this Action Group.

The UK Government has set aside up to £10m to provide technical assistance (TA) to eligible Commonwealth members in delivering their priority actions under the CCOA ambitions of:
i taking steps to eliminate avoidable single use plastic waste
ii significantly reducing single use plastic carrier bags by 2021
iii banning the sale and manufacture of micro-beads in rinse-off personal care products by 2021.

The TA support could take a number of forms indicatively including the following support to develop:
i A plastics or waste management strategy
ii An action plan to translate strategy and policy into action plans
iii Specific Policy and Action Plans for Targeted Plastic Leakage Priorities
iv Research and Data Analysis
v Evaluation of existing strategies, policies and plans
vi Project Proposal Development Support – to help draft things like infrastructure bids
vii Development of strategies/plans to support the enforcement of existing policies or legislation.
(Further details of eligible types of support are provided in Annex 1)

The TA assignments that are designed through this process must be implemented within a timeframe of up to 12 months from late 2019 onwards.

The UK Department for International Development (DfID) and UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) (the clients) have engaged DAI working with Common Seas (“the Coordination Team”) to establish a Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) to coordinate an engagement and scoping exercise across 23 eligible Commonwealth member states that will determine how to allocate these funds to support meaningful action to reduce plastic pollution across the Commonwealth. The scoping exercise will be coordinated by the Coordination Team working with a range of expert partners through the UK Government Expert Advisory Call-Down Services (EACDS) Lot B Facility. The Government of Ghana has engaged with the UK Government to seek assistance under the TAF.

CERF and Sudden Onset The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) is a UN humanitarian funding instrument, managed by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA). It releases money rapidly when a crisis occurs or when there is a sudden escalation of an existing crisis and responds to underfunded emergencies. It is a rapid response mechanism that aims to have funds on the ground within 72 hours of a crisis occurring, thereby kick-starting life-saving humanitarian response. It also strengthens core elements of humanitarian response in underfunded crises by responding to critical gaps. As a flexible and fully un-earmarked humanitarian pooled fund it is also well aligned with Ireland’s Grand Bargain commitment to quality funding. In order to address any sudden onset crisis or emergency that may arise, a humanitarian funding reserve is maintained to ensure that Ireland is in a position to respond rapidly and flexibly, either through a call for proposals or bilateral engagement with a pre-identified partner, depending on which organisations are best placed to respond.
