dc.descriptionTowards meeting the Stockholm Convention obligations of (1) phasing out the use of PCB by 2025 and (2) making determined efforts designed to lead to ESM of waste liquid containing PCB and equipment contaminated with PCB no later than 2028, this National Phase-out Plan sets the following general objectives: • Identify key agencies and stakeholders responsible for sound management of PCB and ensure their roles and responsibilities are understood and enforceable; • Establish and maintain a national inventory of all PCB contaminated equipment that are not available for immediate disposal in Phase 1 of the project; • Agree on concrete actions by key agencies and stakeholders to ensure that all contaminated equipment is either decommissioned and disposed of in Phase 2 of the project, or is scheduled for replacement and disposal by the owners of the contaminated equipment; and • Present the strategy and activities to be implemented in a set timeframe (a road map) by each entity, individually or in collaboration.en
