The project objective is to reduce the risks of POPs on human health and the environment through strengthening institutional capacity and the policy and regulatory framework for the sound management and disposal of chemicals, POPs and wastes, and developing sustainable systems for the sound collection, labeling, storage, and disposal of hazardous chemicals and waste.
The project also aims to support the introduction of economic instruments and incentives such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Payment for Pollution Prevention (PPP) to reduce releases of POPs and other harmful releases.
