AFRIPAC: Effective Capacity Building for Global Plastics Treaty in Africa
Aiming to empower 5 African nations to inform negotiations for the global plastics treaty by increasing knowledge, capacity & collaboration.
To increase knowledge on technical elements under the Plastics Treaty, GRID-Arendal has developed information sheets for negotiators to provide support during the INC negotiation rounds. The sheets provide negotiators with the latest science on alternative plastics and substitutes, a circular economy, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Multi-stakeholder forums. More knowledge products will be developed, following the needs of the five focal countries in West-Africa under the AFRIPAC project, being Senegal, Sierra Leone, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and Sao Tome & Principe.
