The AWARE 2.0 Call for Proposals to jointly support landscape restoration and protection in Zambia has been extended to the 15^thof August giving an opportunity to more private companies to apply.

Private companies working in sustainable value chains or on eco-friendly innovations, driven by a deep desire to address environmental challenges are encouraged to apply.

AWARE 2.0 is looking to partner with such businesses to co-create, pilot, and scale-up services, products and value chains that help to protect and restore ecosystems while creating jobs, income, and market access opportunities for local communities.

This is an opportunity for companies to co-develop and scale-up sustainable products and services that can reduce pressure on ecosystems as well as strengthen their portfolio through measurable impact and partnerships with local communities.

AWARE 2.0 is jointly financed by the European Union (EU), Sweden and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ. The project aims at improved integrated management of water catchments including landscape protection with a focus on agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, water and climate.
