Are you developing circular economy solutions in the plastic packaging or electronic waste (e-waste) value chains? This is your chance to access grants and technical assistance to scale up your impact!

Expertise France has launched a call for projects under the Matching Grants Facility, within the SWITCH to Circular Economy in East and Southern Africa (SWITCH-2-CE in ESA) program — co-funded by the European Union and the BMZ, and jointly implemented with GIZ.

This facility supports innovative companies (start-ups, SMEs, and joint ventures) working in these priority value chains in order to promote an inclusive transition toward circular economy models across the region.

Eligible countries:

Angola 🇦🇴, Botswana 🇧🇼, Burundi 🇧🇮, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Kenya 🇰🇪, Malawi 🇲🇼, Mozambique 🇲🇿, Namibia 🇳🇦, Rwanda 🇷🇼, South Africa 🇿🇦, Tanzania 🇹🇿, Uganda 🇺🇬, and Zambia 🇿🇲.

If your organization supports — or is — an entrepreneurial/innovative business promoting circular solutions (waste reduction, recycling, sustainable packaging, or e-waste management), apply now and widely share this opportunity within your network!

Deadline: March 16, 2026 (there is still time to prepare your application!)

This initiative is fully aligned with building sustainable and green economies in emerging markets such as Kenya — an excellent opportunity for innovators committed to waste valorization, job creation, and climate resilience.

If you are based in one of these countries and active in the plastic or e-waste sectors, don’t miss this opportunity. Apply now! 🚀🌍
