COAST Component A

Notice for the SQ stage of the Restricted Procedure for COAST Component A - COAST's aim is to improve the adaptive capacities, climate resilience and prosperity of vulnerable coastal communities, and drive a more sustainable and inclusive management of their marine environment and coastal resources. To achieve this aim, COAST will focus on three outcome themes, based around areas with good underpinning evidence:

protecting, restoring and sustainably managing coastal habitats and nature based solutions (e.g. mangroves, seagrass, corals)

improving small scale fisheries' sustainability, productivity and resilience

unlocking more sustainable, less intensive aquaculture.

Component A will deliver integrated activities across COAST's themes at a range of scales through three sub-components. To maximise impact and scale, sub-components 1 and 2 will be focused in up to six priority countries, whilst flexibility will be retained in sub-component 3 to support activities in any ODA eligible country. This ITT is to appoint a Supplier to deliver this Component (Component A).
