NO The project in Nigeria demonstrated progress across six of the eight Core Indicator Criteria and achieved many of its planned objectives, delivering tangible results across critical areas such as governance, capacity building, policy development, and compliance with international conventions. It developed a centralized chemicals and waste management portal (though full integration and functionality remain pending), revised the mandates of coordination committees, and facilitated the drafting of theChemicals and Waste Management Bill. The project also met capacity-building targets by developing and delivering comprehensive training programs, including national accreditation and prosecutors’ courses. Additionally, it supported Nigeria in submitting key reports to international conventions, meeting compliance requirements. However, some objectives, such as the formal adoption of the bill and the establishment of fully operational cost recovery measures, were not fully realized at the project’s conclusion.
