Brief Innovation

In August 2019, USAID launched Clean Cities, Blue Ocean (CCBO) – the Agency’s global flagship program for combatting ocean plastics pollution. With an investment of $48 million, CCBO is global in scope, with an initial focus on key countries in Asia and Latin America. CCBO will build capacity and commitment for the 3Rs—reduce, reuse, and recycle—and improved solid waste management in areas that are at the heart of the global plastic pollution crisis. Partnership with the private sector at all levels is central to CCBO as an effective way to create sustainable change.
