GEF-6 Medium Size Project: Integrated SC Toolkit to Improve the Transmission of Information under Articles 07 and 15 - Project Component: Development and Demonstration of an Integrated Articles 7 and 15 Electronic Toolkit - Output 1.1. Gap Analysis

The analysis is meant to identify and present the generic overlaps and gaps between data and information requested under the reporting pursuant Article 15 and other reporting obligations under the Stockholm Convention and the data and information generated during the NIP development and/or update process, as well as conclusions and recommendations on modalities to correlate the processes of reporting under Article 15 and other reporting obligations under the Stockholm Convention with the process of developing and updating the NIPs. The analysis represents the baseline for development of an electronic toolkit that will be used to enhance compliance with the Stockholm Convention through improved transmission, accessibility and use of data contained in NIPs (Article 7) and National Reports (Article 15).
