Strengthening NGO capacity on chemicals safety among NGOs in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia
Together with three environmental NGOs, FRI (Belarus), EcoAccord (Russia) and Mama86 (Ukraine), ChemSec will arrange a capacity-building workshop in Stockholm, Sweden December 3-7, 2007.
The idea of a workshop in Sweden was raised as a request from the partner
organisations after they had identified needs for capacity building for
NGOs working for safer chemicals management in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
The workshop will build on previous projects and studies carried out in
each country and focus on chemicals regulation in relation to SAICM
and REACH
as well as solutions to the hazards of leaking obsolete chemicals found
in storages all over the three countries. The participants will also be
able to meet with Swedish experts on chemical safety relevant to their work
as well as visiting sites that provide good examples and inspiration for
their future work.
