How is egypt solving their environmental health problems?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:The Government of Egypt (GoE) requested World Bank assistance to prepare a Global Environment Facility project. Why? What is the Government’s contribution?
Recognizing the importance of the issue, Egypt has identified the urgent need for implementing environmentally sound management of POPs pesticides and PCB oils used in electric transformers according to international best practices. Subsequently, the Government has requested assistance to prepare a project that focuses on the safe management and disposal of POPs material in Egypt.
It is highly likely that the project outputs and outcomes will continue beyond the life of the project as the GoE has already taken a number of steps including: signing on to the Stockholm Convention for POPs; submission of the National Implementation Plan and a recent start to its updating; establishment of a high-level project steering committee; and expression of commitment and agreement to provide US$15.5 million as co-financing towards the project cost.
