Circular Economy

The Circular Economy Innovation Cluster was initiated to bring focus and traction to circular economy on the ground. This Cluster focuses on rapid country assessments across all sectors of circular economy to identify and define project opportunities that could have positive effect on blue economy outcomes.

The innovation Cluster seeks to:

Strengthen capacity and multi-stakeholder membership of the Innovation Cluster, from within and beyond the WIO region.
Prioritize the circular economy approach for the transition to an ISBE and a concrete and participatory action plan to deliver its strategy.
Identify a portfolio of high potential, high impact, financially viable circular economy project opportunities linked to the coasts and the ocean, that the innovation cluster could support in WIO countries.
Identify donor funding opportunities to enable the innovation cluster to support these projects that have been identified and are being mobilized.
