THE REPUBLIC OF THE SUDAN THE HIGHER COUNCIL OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES

An Overview of Basel Convention Efforts in Sudan By Dr An Overview of Basel Convention Efforts in Sudan By Dr. Osama Seed Ahmed

Basel Convention Sudan is a party to the Basil Convention since 9/4/2006. The Higher Council for Environment and NaturalResources (HCENR) of the Ministry of Environment and Physical Development is the National Focal Pointfor the Basel Convention. Sudan does not import or export any waste except the export of limitedquantities of used batteries. Sudan has no facilities for any waste disposal or ship dismantling

Implementation of POPs Inventory survey. Identification of POPs sources. Active Involvement of stakeholders. Awareness workshops

Regarding Basel Convention : Streamlining of legal aspects concerning POPs inventory and other Hazardous chemicals trnsportation, storage and treatment. Estimation and identification of Hazardous waste sites.

Strengthening of the capacity of border states about the regulations of transboundary transport of POPS. Initiation of observation and control bodies of POPs at different parts of Sudan. Capacity building of hot areas staff about POPs. Publication of POP directives and guidelines.

Identification and nomination of concerned stakeholders in POPs. Consultation with stakeholders for effective implementation of POPs directives and guidelines. Major training for customs administration about POPs by Basel Convention Institute for Technology Transfer Experts – Cairo.

Commitment of Politician for implementation of Basel Convention. Streamlining of POPs Directive and Guidelines in the environmental activities of POPs management and Basel convention implementation as a major reference.

The issue of POPs in Sudan has gained considerable importance in recent years. Awareness raising on POPs has been significantly increased since the ratification of the convention. This is mainly attributed to the efforts exerted by the HCENR through awareness raising programs and projects related to the environmental impacts of chemicals

Sudan is aware that POPs are only a part of the chemical management challenge. Therefore, HCENR is aiming to coordinate different activities on chemical management (POPs, mercury, ozone depleting substances, climate change including short-lived climate pollutants).

Stakeholders for Basel Convention 1. Higher Council for Environment and Natural Resources (HCENR) 2. Ministry of Agriculture/Division of Plant Protection (DPP) and the National Pesticide Council 3. Ministry of Health 4. Ministry of Industry (MOI) 5. Ministry of Electricity and Dams (MED) 6. Customs General Directorate 7. Ministry of Justice 8. Research Centres, Universities and Civil Societies

Experts in the field of POPs at regional and national level shall be involved to implement and develop strategy for Basel COP resolutions on directives and POPs guidelines for POPs standard management.

Legislations for management of hazardous waste (e Legislations for management of hazardous waste (e.waste,medical,chemical waste) are now implemnted in Khartoum state. A strategy shall be developed for other states soon. A specialized landfill for hazardous waste disposal is now constructed. Extended producer responsibility for hazardous waste is adopted.

More consultation and and technical assistance from experts of Basel Centre for Technology Transfer is needed to complete and review the national report of POPs. Other Challenges of Gold mining and pollution need to be adressed.

Future Plan
