Scope
In developing, reviewing, and updating a national implementation plan (NIP) for the Stockholm Convention, a number of action plans (or “strategies” or other similar plans) can be developed. The implementation of each action plan will typically require a range of resources, such as human resources, facilities, equipment, services, and materials. Accurate costing of action plans will greatly facilitate national implementation as well as an understanding of the true costs of implementing the Convention globally. In order to facilitate a calculation of action plan costs, UNITAR, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Stockholm Convention, has developed the following guidance, which presents a number of considerations that a Party may wish to take into account.
Main target audience
National Stockholm Convention focal points, the project coordination unit implementing the NIP review and update project.
