Kenya National Gap Analysis of information and Data under the Kenya National Implementation Plan and Reports under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants

The objective of the gaps analysis was to facilitate the development, transmission, access, and use of data contained in NIPs (NIP, Article 7) and National Reports (Article 15). The expected outcome is to strengthen the national capacity in executing in-country activities for data collection and national reporting under the Convention, increase the capacity of Kenya to implement the chemicals and waste multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) and mainstreaming them into national and county policies, plans, financial and legal frameworks. The assessment covered the initial 12 POP1s and newly listed POPs. such as PBDE, HBCD, PCN, PCP, PFOS, SCCP, and an update of the UPOPs emissions inventories.
