Phone : +255 262329006 Fax : +255 262329007 NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE STOCKHOLM ii CONVENTION ON PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPS) PREFACE Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) present unique challenge as they persist in the environment, exhibit long-range transport properties, bioaccumulate in fat tissues of living organisms and pose risks to human health and the environment. In view of the global nature of the challenges posed by POPs, the Stockholm Convention on POPs was adopted at a Conference of Plenipotentiaries on 22 May, 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden. It entered into force in May, 2004 and Tanzania ratified it on 30 April, 2004. The objective of the Convention is to protect human health and the environment from adverse effects of persistent organic pollutants. The initial list of chemicals controlled under the Convention included 12 chemicals which were popularly referred to as the ‘dirty dozen’. However, during meetings of the Conference of the Parties in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015, additional 14 new chemicals were included in the list, making a total of 26 controlled chemicals as of now. The list consists of Pesticides (Aldrin, Dieldrin, DDT, Endrin, Chlordane, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Mirex, Toxaphene, Heptachlor, Alpha hexachlorocyclohexane, Beta hexachlorocyclohexane, Chlordecone, Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz), Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), Technical Endosulfan and its related isomers, Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and its salts and esters and Lindane); Industrial chemicals (Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), Hexabromobiphenyl, Hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether (homologues of commercial octabromodiphenyl ether), Hexachlorobenzene, Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz), Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOS-F), Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), Tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether (homologues of commercial pentabromodiphenyl ether)); and unintentionally produced by-product chemicals (Polychlorinated para- dibenzodioxins (PCDD), Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF, Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz) and Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs)). According to Article 7 of the Stockholm Convention, Parties have the obligation of developing, implementing and periodically reviewing and updating a National Implementation Plan on the Stockholm Convention on POPs. Tanzania completed and submitted its first NIP to the Secretariat of the Convention on 12 June, 2006. The updated NIP reviews the existing situation of both initial and new POPs, and elaborates priority actions to be undertaken in the management and control of POPs in the country. The implementation of the initial NIP had a number of achievements including disposal of about 1,000 metric tones of obsolete stockpiles of POP pesticides; reduced use of pesticides through promotion of Integrated Pest NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE STOCKHOLM iii CONVENTION ON PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPS) Management (IPM) and Integrated Vector Management (IVM); training of about 300 staff of regulatory authorities; public awareness campaign reaching out about 15-20 percent of the total population; and increased engagement and involvement of CSOs in training and awareness initiatives. Furthermore, the national chemical regulatory capacity was strengthened through development of regulations and guidelines, control of imports and appointment of Chemical and Environmental Inspectors. However, several challenges remain including inadequate policy and regulatory framework; insufficient national capacity in terms of financial and human resources; lack of facilities for environmentally sound management of POPs; inadequate adoption of best practices and techniques; and low public awareness. In view of these challenges and experience gained over the years, the updated NIP takes into account the aspirations and milestones charted out by national development frameworks particularly the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) of 2010 and the Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025, both of which call for improvement of quality of life and social wellbeing. In addition, it aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) whose 9 out of 17 targets directly or indirectly addresses environmental sustainability. It also promotes synergies in domesticating related Conventions and international processes on chemicals and waste management so as to realize multiple benefits. In this regard, the implementation of the updated NIP will contribute to the national and global efforts of combating poverty and improve environmental quality. In this context, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania (URT) is determined to and shall make every effort to mobilize resources and encourage participation of all stakeholders including private sectors in addressing the challenges posed by POPs. Cognizant of the fact that environment is the common heritage for present and future generations, the Government of the URT welcomes support of local and international stakeholders in our ambition to achieve a POPs-free world. Hon. January Yusuf Makamba (MP) Minister of State, Vice President’s Office Union Affairs and Environment NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE STOCKHOLM iv CONVENTION ON PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPS) ACKNOWLDGEMENTS The successful compilation of the updated National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is a reflection of contribution and inputs by many individuals and institutions that deserve a vote of thanks. I therefore wish to express our gratitude to the national team of experts which was involved in undertaking inventories and initial drafting of an updated NIP. The team was drawn from Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investments (MITI); Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderls and Children (MHCDGEC); Ministry of Agriculture; Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries; Ministry of Lands, Water, Energy and Environment (Zanzibar); Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources, Livestock and Fisheries (Zanzibar); Vice President’s Office – Division of Environment (VPO - DoE); Government Chemist Laboratory Authority (GCLA); National Environment Management Council (NEMC); Zanzibar Electricity Company (ZECO); Cleaner Production Centre of Tanzania (CPCT) and University of Dar es Salaam – College of Engineering and Technology (UDSM-CoET); Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI); Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO); Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA); and AGENDA for Environment and Responsible Development ( NGO). I am particularly indebted to the National Coordinating Committee (NCC) for their guidance during the NIP review and update process. The members of the NCC were drawn from: Ministry of Agriculture; Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries; Ministry of Energy; Ministry of Minerals; Ministry of Lands, Water, Energy and Environment (Zanzibar); Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources, Livestock and Fisheries (Zanzibar); Ministry of Finance and Planning; Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment; Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elders and Children; Ministry of Works, Transport and Communication; National Environment Management Council (NEMC); Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI); Cleaner Production Centre of Tanzania (CPCT), Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) and AGENDA for Environment and Responsible Development. I am thankful to all Staff from the Vice President’s Office who made it possible. I also wish to acknowledge the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for the financial support on the Enabling Activities to Review and Update the National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention on POPs. We appreciate the roles played by UNIDO as the Implementing Agency, including training on inventory of all listed Persistent Organic Pollutants, which served as the basis for the review and update of the first NIP (2006). We are specifically indebted to Dr. Roland Weber, International Consultant, for his technical guidance throughout the NIP update process. Last but not least, we are thankful to all stakeholders, who cooperated and in one way or the other, contributed to this very important process of developing the updated NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE STOCKHOLM v CONVENTION ON PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPS) National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). The consideration you gave to this endeavour has facilitated an important step towards protecting health and the environment from adverse effects of POPs. Eng.
