The SEA-MaP project aims to reduce plastics consumption, increase recycling, and minimize leakages to prevent land and sea based marine plastics pollution in Southeast Asia.
It will provide support to develop and harmonize regional policies as well as create regional platforms for innovation, investments, knowledge and partnerships.
The SEA-MaP project is comprised of the following three components:
1) Strengthening Regional Policies and Institutions for Plastics Circularity
2) Establishing Regional Platforms to Promote Innovations, Knowledge, and Partnerships for Plastics Circularity
3) Project Management and Capacity Building
Environment and Social Risk Management
To effectively manage the environmental and social risks associated with the SEA-MaP project, the Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) and the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), including the Stakeholder Engagement Plan and Grievance Mechanism (SEP) and Labor Management Procedures (LMP), have been prepared by the ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC). Following public consultation, the documents have been updated.
