dc.descriptionThis project document outlines a joint initiative by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Health Organization to promote a phase down in the use of dental amalgam in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. It describes the public health and environmental context of mercury use in dental restoration and sets out objectives to assess trade flows, waste management practices and alternative materials. The document details planned activities, including desk studies, stakeholder engagement, training, installation of amalgam separators, awareness raising, and demonstration projects in selected clinics. It defines institutional roles, coordination mechanisms, a fifteen month schedule, expected outputs, and reporting responsibilities.
