About this project
Description
The proposed project intends to support the country with the necessary technical and financial assistance to ensure that all the remaining PCBs in the country (estimated in not less than 900 t of PCB contaminated equipment and waste) are identified and disposed of. The project will be implemented side by side with the relevant institutional and industrial stakeholders, i.e. the Ministry for Sustainable Development and Tourism, EPCG, KAP and other holders of PCB containing equipment. Although the project expects to solve all remaining PCBs issues in the country, it will also ensure that enough capacity for the sound management of PCBs would have been built for the management of any further such hazardous waste identified in time after project's closure. The project will consist of the following four components which are: Component 1. Capacity strengthening on PCB management; Component 2. PCB Inventory, planning and establishment of public-private partnership; Component 3. Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) of PCBs, andComponent 4. Monitoring, Learning, Adaptive Feedback and Evaluation
Objectives
Comprehensive identification and disposal/treatment of PCB contaminated equipment and waste in the country.
