E-waste Volume III WEEE/e-waste “Take back system”

The third manual of this series was created to serve as guidance for the practitioners anddecision makers in understanding, planning, designing and implementing WEEE/E-wastetake-back schemes at a national and local level

Workshop on Take Back System10

In order to support development of policy framework and capacity building on WEEE/E-waste at national and local level, a training workshop on WEEE/E-waste management was held in Osaka, Japan, on 13-15 July 2011. This workshop was attended by national governments, international organizations, the private sector and civil society. The outcome of the workshop identified a need to build the capacity and policy framework on WEEE/E-waste “take back” system and financial mechanism to sustain this system. In this context, a third manual on WEEE/E-waste take-back system has been developed in continuation to the series of manual 1 and 2.

The Pan-African Forum on E-waste

• Held at UNEP Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, during 14-16 March 2012

• Calls for action outlining a set of priorities to support development of a regional approach for the legal transboundary movements and the environmentally sound management of e-waste for the African continent to protect human health and the environment as well as to promote opportunities for social and economic development.


16

Set of priority actions• Area 1: Baseline assessment of e-waste problems• Area 2: Principles for environmentally sound management of e-waste • Area 3: Legal, policy and regulatory frameworks• Area 4: Enforcing international, regional and national law concerning

imports and exports of used electronic and electrical equipment and e-waste

• Area 5: Financing environmentally sound management of e-waste• Area 6: Environmental, health, and socio-economic aspects of e-waste

management• Area 7: Capacity building and awareness raising• Area 8: Coordination of implementation of the Call for Action



17

Area 7: Capacity building and awareness raising

The Forum recommend the following activities:a) Use existing or develop new training toolkits to adopt a train-the-trainer approach utilizing respected community leaders, community based organizations, schools, and others;b) Develop a pan-Africa coordinating network for regulatory authorities;c) Develop a best practice repository within the Basel convention regional coordinating centres for training and technology transfer;d) Undertake capacity-building on monitoring and enforcement;e) Undertake capacity building for assessments on e-waste problems on the national, sub-regional and Pan-African levels; andf) Other activities.


18

Area 7: Capacity building and awareness raising

• Education and awareness-raising on risks related to unsound practices and benefits of e-waste recycling as well as on hazards of e-waste dumping should be strengthened throughout the African continent, including through the inclusion in the university curriculum and educational programmes.

• Bilateral and multilateral donors are encouraged to support these capacity building programmes.
