The project demonstrated progress across all the relevant Core Indicator Criteria, achieving its planned objectives to varying degrees. It contributed to establishing national coordinating mechanisms, proposing legislative measures, mainstreaming the national chemicals and waste management agenda into national planning processes, providing inputs for the ratification of the Minamata Convention, establishing PPP pilots, and conducting training and capacity building for chemicals and waste management. However, challenges remained in operationalizing the national chemicals and waste management unit and linking pilot implementation to strategy development, testing, and refinement.
