over a broad range of sectors, having a combined impact far beyond the impact<br />

for any one sector. Challenges may be reduced by integral implementation of the<br />

NSGRP, Vision 2025 and MDG Goals by mainstreaming their implementation in<br />

national action plan for economic development. It is repeated in world fora, that<br />

donors are not providing financial assistance for chemical safety because this is<br />

not seen as a priority to recipient countries. This is attributed to the fact that<br />

chemicals safety is not integrated in requests for development assistance.<br />

The presenter recommended that there is a need for capacity building with the<br />

following key elements: Ownership involving stakeholders from the beginning;<br />

Integration and taking full account of ongoing actions; Cross-sectoral<br />

harmonization between donors and recipients; Increased use of modern<br />

technology and communication; and Development of new forms of cooperation<br />

such as decentralized cooperation among local authorities. It was further<br />

recommended that activities addressing chemical safety should be<br />

mainstreamed more readily with ongoing development assistance programmes<br />

and projects.<br />

After presentation of all papers of theme two, there was a general panel<br />

discussion which involved the following;<br />

One participant asked that we have one project linking three acts of PPA, EMA<br />

and Chemicals & Consumer products, therefore three players coordinating one<br />

project, how will the implementation be then. The reaction was that in<br />

government system there is no conflict, there is partition for facilitation. The aim<br />

of this project is to find linkages in effective implementation of chemical<br />

conventions and these Acts. It was commended that this project will help build<br />

capacity to the implementers of the Conventions and the Acts for proper<br />

implementation of the Acts and Conventions. The project’s first activity was<br />

stakeholders’ mapping to see how we can work with different stakeholders with<br />

different responsibilities and to assess synergies that can be used in proper<br />

implementation of Chemical Conventions. Under POPs Convention, there is a<br />

requirement to prepare the NIP. <strong>Stakeholder</strong>s should look at what they can offer<br />

for an efficient implementation of the NIP, consequently the Convention within<br />

the specified timelines.<br />

There was a general challenge that linkage between poverty and environment<br />

shows that poor people are mostly affected but also are the source of pollution<br />

due to the fact that they can afford cheap technologies, chemicals, objects which<br />

are near to their expiry dates, and crude methods.<br />

It was asked that lack of enough incinerators lead to open burning of materials<br />

and chemicals. What are the government initiatives to address the problem<br />

generation of dioxins and furans from open burning and the incinerators we have<br />

which are not very effective according to the studies already conducted, and the<br />

reaction was that before permit for construction of incinerators, there must be<br />

some consideration to be made which include its size and it should be located in<br />
