Environmental and Social Management Framework Africa Environmental Health and Pollution Management Program (P167788)

Summary

Sub-Saharan Africa faces significant environmental and health challenges from widespread mercury use in artisanal gold mining and the rapidly increasing accumulation and mismanagement of electronic waste. The Africa Environmental Health and Pollution Management Program (EHPMP) addresses these issues by aiming to reduce exposure to mercury and uPOPs pollution and enhance institutional capacity for regulation and management. This framework outlines the environmental and social procedures for the program, which is currently in progress, receiving substantial GEF funding for both knowledge exchange and country-specific interventions in five participating nations.
