UNDP is implementing the project “Reduction and elimination of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and other chemical releases through implementation of environmentally sound management of E-Waste, healthcare waste and priority Unintentional POPs release sources associated with general waste management activities” in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and other stakeholders, The project aims to avoid the releases of Unintentional POPs, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and CO2, contributing at the same time to the development of the waste circular economy elements based on the 3R (Reduce, Re-use, Recycle) approach principles. The project is designed with the three (3) components:

Project Component 1: Development of an environmentally sound management (ESM) system for E-waste, which has the objective to improve and enforce the E-waste regulation in the country, and to develop capacity for the collection and disposal of POPs Contaminated E-waste products and end-of-life articles;

Project Component 2: Achievement of environmentally sound healthcare waste management (HCW), which has the objective to build on the existing potential of the country to further improve and extend the current HCW practices, including training, certification and procurement of HCW waste treatment technology; 

Project Component 3: Developing waste diversion/resource recovery capacity for GHG and U-POPs reduction

This component addresses several priority chemicals waste and U-POPs release issues associated with waste management generally along with potential GHG release reduction and avoidance.  This is done through support for demonstration of modern SW and HW management practice improvement based on waste diversion and qualification of environmentally sound recycling, resource recovery and energy from waste options.
