NATIONAL CHEMICALS POLICY

Summary

Kenya faces significant risks to human health and the environment from the misuse and inadequate regulation of chemicals, with sales projected to grow by 3% annually until 2050. To address this, the government has developed a National Chemicals Policy, a draft document from January 2022, to establish a comprehensive system for the sound management of chemicals across their life cycle. This planned initiative involves strengthening legislation, implementing the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), and establishing national and regional coordination mechanisms, aiming to mitigate adverse effects and promote sustainable development.
