The projects are implemented at the national or regional levels with full engagement of relevant focal points of the Basel Convention or official contact points or national focal points of the Stockholm Convention.
The SGP on Plastic Waste contributes to one or several of the following four results areas: Controlling the transboundary movements (TBM) of plastic waste; Improving the environmentally sound management (ESM) of plastic waste; Preventing and minimizing the generation of plastic waste; Reducing the risk from hazardous constituents such as persistent organic pollutants in plastic waste.
The projects should build on results achieved and make use of the tools developed under the technical assistance activities on plastic waste undertaken by the BRS Secretariat, for example the Plastic Waste Inventory Toolkit developed under the BRS-Norad-1 project .
The projects may be implemented in one or several countries that are eligible to receive funding under the technical assistance programme of the Basel and Stockholm Conventions and are listed on the development assistance cooperation list of overseas development assistance (ODA) recipients and can feature activities at municipal, national and regional levels.
Project proposals can be submitted by the Basel Convention Regional and Coordinating Centres or Stockholm Convention Regional Centres .

A total of 83 eligible proposals were submitted by regional centers during these three rounds. They were screened by the Secretariat and reviewed by the steering committee in accordance with the modalities of the respective rounds of the SGP on Plastic Waste. Taking into account the recommendations of the steering committee, the Secretariat subsequently selected 23 projects to be funded.
