Expression of Interest: GFCR Convening Agent
Convening Agents are designated country or regional programme leads that convene a consortium of local and international partners to implement activities under the Global Fund for Coral Reefs Theory of Change. The GFCR identifies Convening Agents with the capacity to deploy funds, identify co-implementers and scale reef-positive business models in each priority seascape. These Agents lead in identifying a range of local and specialist actors in the field through which investable projects can be incubated and financed.
