Aid by Sector
Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP)
Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs
The Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) brings together governments, businesses, and civil society to tackle plastic pollution and increase investment in circular economy approaches in ODA-eligible countries. GPAP’s intended impact is to improve the environment in partner countries by reducing municipal waste while improving the livelihoods of people involved in the waste sector or impacted by plastic pollution. This is achieved principally through (1) the creation of public-private stakeholder collaboration platforms called National Plastic Action Partnerships (NPAPs) and (2) targeted training and assistance for informal waste sector workers. NPAPs are impartial and inclusive stakeholder coordination groups that bring together influential stakeholders across the plastics value chain, including policymakers, consumer goods businesses, non-governmental organisations and waste sector representatives. The partnerships’ work in each country focuses on establishing baselines for pollution, standardising metrics and creating national action plans and roadmaps, all of which inform national waste management policy.

UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
To promote economic development and opportunities in Jordan for the benefit of both Jordanians and Syrian refugees.

The programme will also help Jordanian hosts maintain their resilience and economic stability.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Systems for Health
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
WASH Systems for Health will support governments in up to five developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to strengthen the systems needed to establish reliable, resilient and inclusive WASH services over five years. The programme will contribute to better health, nutrition and education, especially for poorer households and communities, and for women and girls in particular - and will be core to the UK’s approach to ending the preventable deaths of mothers, young children and infants (EPD). The programme’s focus on systems marks a fundamental shift in FCDO’s approach to WASH. Our new approach will enhance the sustainability of WASH services; it will ensure that women are empowered to take informed decisions about the services they receive; and it will attract new public and private finance to accelerate progress towards SDG 6 WASH targets – including universal access to safely managed WASH services.
