A new call is coming—let’s nourish futures together 🌱
We’re excited to announce an upcoming EUCaN Facility call for proposals supporting civil-society action to make Caribbean food systems more inclusive, climate-smart, and nutrition-focused. If you work with smallholders, fishers, producer groups, women, youth, people with disabilities, or other vulnerable communities in the OECS region, this call is for you.
The call will support practical, community-led solutions—from strengthening social protection and improving access to healthy diets, to circular-economy innovations that turn waste into value and create decent green jobs. Projects should be designed for short, high-impact projects that can move quickly from idea to action.
