The NCSA process will provide Grenada with the opportunity to articulate a thorough self-assessment and analysis of national capacity needs, priorities and constraints facing national efforts to meet global environmental management objectives as set forth in the Rio conventions and related international instruments. The process will facilitate a cross-sectoral process of consultations, stocktaking, sequencing, and prioritization of capacity needs, especially for identifying obstacles that impede the country from fully meeting its objectives under the relevant conventions.

The NGO-POPs Elimination Project aims to increase the capacity of NGOs in developing countries and countries with economies in transition to play a constructive and effective role in Stockholm Convention implementation. Increased NGO capacity will, in turn, help increase awareness of POPs and the Stockholm Convention in these countries and enhance the ability of these countries to achieve the objectives of the Convention. The Project will run for two years, so that its work will likely be complete by the first Stockholm Convention Conference of the Parties, or soon thereafter.

Within the overall objective of the Stockholm Convention, which is to protect human health and the environment from POPs, the project will: i. Prepare the ground for implementation of the Convention in Thailand; ii. Assist Thailand in meeting its reporting and other obligations under the Convention; iii. Strengthen Thailand’s national capacity to manage POPs and chemicals generally.
