The objective of the project is to create sustainable capacity and facilitate a country-driven approach to enable the three autonomous islands making up the Union of the Comoros to meet their obligations under the Stockholm Convention, including initial preparation of a POPs Implementation Plan, and addressing broader chemicals safety and management issues as articulated in Chapter 19 of Agenda 21. The Implementation Plan describes how the Union of the Comoros will meet its obligations under the Convention to phase-out POPs sources and manage POPs contaminated sites in the country in an environmentally sound manner.
