Report on the Potential Links of the Integrated Electronic Toolkit with the Data Management Systems at the National Level

This online toolkit should provide Parties with the means to submit NIP and their updates, by integrating 4 modules: a NIP submission module, a guidance module to provide guidance documentation, a POPs inventory to support the collection of data on POPs inventories and a query module to allow querying the database behind the integrated electronic toolkit. These modules will bring benefits to the NIP update process and to Article 15 reporting. The NIP submission module will be automatically connected to the electronic reporting system of the Stockholm Convention. This connection will allow the Parties, at the time of notification, to use the data previously collected from the inventories in updates to their NIP.
