The Initiative for Global Solidarity is a global project that seeks to support suppliers and other relevant stakeholders in selected production countries to prepare for the increasing expectations regarding their social and environmental performance, arising from international trade agreements and regulations in relevant export markets. The project is commissioned by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and

Development (BMZ).

The global programme “Go Circular” is commissioned by German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development to support the transition to a Circular Economy at global level and in the three partner countries: Colombia, Ghana and Viet Nam. Go Circular works in three priority areas: 1) Promoting innovation (technologies and business models), 2) Scaling up solutions and 3) Action in global alliances. The global programme currently addresses three material flows: plastics, electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, and organic waste – with the potential to expand to others. Cross-cutting themes pursued are climate and the Circular Economy, including integration with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) from the Paris Climate Agreement, digitalisation and the Circular Economy, as well as financing the Circular Economy. In Viet Nam the project works with the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM) as key political partners.
