Preparation of the POPs National Implementation Plan under the Stockholm Convention

The objective of the project is to create sustainable capacity and ownership in Bangladesh to meet its obligations under the Stockholm Convention, including preparation of a POPs National Implementation Plan, and broader issues of chemicals safety and management as articulated in Chapter 19 of Agenda 21. The National Implementation Plan describes how Bangladesh will meet its obligations under the Convention to phase-out POPs sources and remediate POPs contaminated sites. The project will enable Bangladesh to ratify the Stockholm Convention and become a Party to the same.
