Brief Description

This project aims to strengthen the knowledge base of chemicals and waste and enhance the capacity of selected countries to track progress towards the SDGs related to chemicals and waste across sectors in order to strengthen the evidence base for policy making and stakeholder action. By strengthening the evidence base as well as the science policy interface, the project responds to the need for better information to empower decision makers and stakeholders to take action and support policy making aimed at sound management to minimize risks associated with chemicals and waste.

Objective and Expected Outcomes

Expected Outcome 1
Developing countries have strengthened capacity to measure, monitor and report on indicators and targets and new statistical data areas to support sound chemicals and waste management
Expected Outcome 2
A set of national indicators and data collection approaches and guidance relevant for monitoring and self-assessing national chemicals and waste management is developed and tested
