Notice Title

CEFAS25-04 Contract for provision of foundational regional analyses to inform Sustainable Blue Economies (SBE) delivery in SIDS and associated services under the CLEAN Helpdesk remit. Awarded in association with the FCDO CLEAN Helpdesk

Notice Description

The Sustainable Blue Economies (SBE) programme aims to provide technical support and generate scientific knowledge to support small island developing states (SIDS) in developing their blue economies, while ensuring that the knowledge, capacity development and advice supports sustainable and equitable development. The SBE program requires foundational regional analyses to inform and frame its technical assistance delivery to SIDS.
