Call for Offers: Programme Management Support (Consultant)

Project Background:

Margins 2 Markets (M2M) is building key components of an effective waste management system in three ecologically valuable coastal regions: Raja Ampat/Sorong (Indonesia), Tamil Nadu (India), and Zanzibar (Tanzania). These regions face similar challenges: remote and growing coastal communities, insufficient waste management infrastructure, limited access to recycling markets, and increasing plastic pollution from tourism and population growth, driving marine litter and threatening biodiversity, fisheries, and local livelihoods.

The project establishes regional collection, pre-processing, and recycling infrastructure, including Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and pre-processing sites, and connects these to national and international recycling markets. It combines this physical infrastructure with digital traceability systems, incentive schemes for waste collectors, training, occupational health and safety measures, and transparent payment systems. The overarching goal is to prevent approximately 40,000 tonnes of plastic waste from entering coastal and marine ecosystems and to develop a replicable model for other coastal regions.

Key infrastructure includes:

• A regional MRF in Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu, cleaning, sorting, and baling fishing nets and marine plastics, alongside collection activities across 14 coastal districts.
• Pre-processing facilities near Kendwa and Paje (Zanzibar) plus a central MRF between Zanzibar City and the landfill.
• Local collection and pre-processing sites across the Raja Ampat islands, linked to a central facility in Sorong.

What we are looking for:

Clean Hub is looking for a consultant to provide strategic and operational support that keeps the programme compliant with ZUG grant requirements, coordinated across implementing partners and government counterparts, and positioned for donor engagement and replication, from the start of implementation through the final reporting period.
