In the framework of the joint project with UN Environment (UNEP) - titled “Implementing the EPR Concept in Policies and Regulations for the Sound Management of E-waste" - ITU, in collaboration with the Department of Waste Management and Pollution Control (DWMPC) of the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resource Conservation and Tourism and the Botswana Communication Regulatory Authority (BOCRA), is currently supporting the Government in developing a National E-waste Strategy in Botswana.
Private Sector Workshop in May 2022
A series of national consultations have been held between February and May 2022, with the participation of key national stakeholders from both public and private sector, in order to define strategies relating to the roles, duties and responsibilities of actors involved in the e-waste value chain. A preliminary draft of the E-waste Strategy was developed, following the feedback received during the national consultations. As a final step in the national strategy development, a validation workshop was organized by ITU and BOCRA, together with local partners, on 15th of August 2022. As a result the draft strategy was approved. The next steps in Botswana will be to formally adopt the strategy and move forward with the implementation.
