Introduction
BACKGROUND
Aware of the adverse human health and environmental impacts of POPs, both at the national and global levels, and the need for concerted action to address such impacts, The Gambia signed the Stockholm Convention in May 2001 and ratified the instrument in April 2006. After the ratification of the Stockholm Convention, The Gambia, in response to Article 7 of the Convention, developed its NIP, which was submitted in March 2009. The Gambia subsequently updated its NIP (NIP 2019), with the financial support of GEF and UNEP as the implementing agency. According to the updated NIP, PCB management and uPOPs reduction are amongst the top priorities for the country and corresponds to the Stockholm Convention targets, including the safe management of PCBs by 2025 (and elimination by 2028) and continuing minimization and, where feasible, ultimate elimination of unintentionally produced POPs.
The project, ‘Capacity Building for Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and Unintentional Persistent Organic Pollutants (UPOPs) in The Gambia’ supports ‘The Gambia’ with technical support and financial assistance to reduce the risks posed by PCBs and UPOPs to the environment and human health. The project includes identification and disposal of PCB-contaminated equipment and waste, and reduction of UPOPs emissions through improved waste management practices and reduction of open burning of waste.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The objective is to procure the services for the necessary equipment; materials, inputs and services for the environmentally sound management of PCB-containing or PCB-contaminated equipment and waste identified through the Project ‘Capacity Building for Poly-Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Unintentional Persistent Organic Pollutants (UPOPs) in The Gambia’ (PIMS # 5908, GEF ID 9570). The contractor will provide the service of treatment and/or elimination of PCB-containing or PCB-contaminated equipment and waste, using either operations leading to or not leading to resource recovery.
