dc.descriptionThe project in Kenya demonstrated progress across seven of the eight Core Indicator Criteria, achieving notable outcomes in fostering multi-stakeholder coordination and advancing national frameworks for chemical and waste management. It established a legislative basis and framework for a centralized chemical and waste data portal (awaiting approval), developed the National Chemical Policy, and laid the groundwork for a Chemical Unit within the Ministry of Environment. While the Minamata Convention was ratified after the project concluded, the preparatory work conducted was pivotal in achieving this milestone. Additionally, the project catalyzed the adoption of the Responsible Care Program, with active industry participation ensuring its sustainability. Although formalization of mechanisms such as the Multisectoral Committee on Sound Chemical Management remains pending, these structures continue to function effectively.en
