Brief Innovation

The Save Our Seas Initiative builds on successes and lessons from USAID’s experience implementing ocean plastics solutions on the ground over the past six years, while scaling these approaches within key countries and to additional geographies for greater impact. Specifically, the Save Our Seas Initiative draws on effective methods for reducing mismanaged waste in partner countries developed under USAID’s existing global program Clean Cities, Blue Ocean; leverages the expertise and relationships of our field missions to expand country-level and regional programs to scale these efforts; and catalyzes greater private sector, donor, and interagency funding and partnerships to crowd-in additional funding
