Chemicals

According to the studies done, it has been discovered that , in some locations in Tanzania there are POP stockpiles. Further due to ignorance the local community continue to make use of some products containing the POPs recklessly like using transformer oil for skin lightening, hence a need for this project. Also there is a need of raising awareness on the Chemical Conventions of which Tanzania as a country is a signatory. The project greatly deals with capacity building and awareness creating on the Chemical Conventions in particular dealing with Persistent Organic Pollutants. This is to be done to grassroot level community and the NGOs, CBOs and CSOs. Project main objective is therefore to foster wider awareness and understanding on the Stockholm Convention and other Chemical Conventions in order to avoid damage to people`s health and environment.
