POLLUTANTS (POPs)

Workshops to support implementation of the Convention:

UNEP and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) organized a series of sub-regional workshops to support the implementation of the Convention. The workshops were funded through a GEF Medium Sized Project with co-funding from the Government of Sweden. The workshops were primarily aimed at providing assistance to developing countries in strengthening their national chemicals management programs with regard to their implementation and ratification of the Stockholm Convention on POPs and related instruments. The primary target groups were senior government managers and decision-makers from environment and other government authorities. Representatives from international organizations, industry, academia and environmental NGOs also participated.
