| dc.description | Promoting chemicals safety mangement in the African region project is a joint follow up project developed by ENEP-ICCA after the findings of the first joint African regional workshop on chemical safety management. Warehousing and cross border road transport of chemicals are among the key conerns in Africa relateds to chemical management. Frequently, the available infrastructure for emergency response is ineffective and skills regarding emergency prevention and preparedness are often limited. This is a 24-month project that will be jointly implemented by UNEP and ICCA with particular emphasis on safe transport of chemicals, safe practices in warehousing of chemical products and appropriate emergency preparedness. The Project activities focus on capacity building for sound chemical management at the sub regional level as well as demonstrate good practices in emergency preparedness in two of the major ports (Port of Mombasa in East Afric and port of Tema in west Africa) that are the main entry routes for imported chemicals into their respective sub-regions in African continent. | en_US |
