 | The Study on scoping the existing policy and regulatory framework for the management of e-waste under extended producer responsibility in Uganda 2023, shares a comprehensive review of the e-waste management policies, laws and regulations, and suggests possible revisions to such texts. The existing framework for financing e-waste management is based on a model whereby the public sector finances the whole value chain. The model has demonstrated its weaknesses, and as of now, very little quantity of e-waste has been collected and recycled. The financing model must therefore be improved by creating a new model based on a financially sustainable framework with the involvement of key stakeholders - such as EEE producers (importers, distributors, manufacturers and resellers); retailers and collectors; and recycling companies - through a fair and economically viable extended producer responsibility (EPR) framework for the EEE sector.
The report was developed by the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), with the support of Divisions and Services in ITU Headquarters and ITU Regional Office for Africa under the 'Technical Assistance and Training to Uganda on National ICT Development Strategy' (2021-2024) project . The project is a collaboration between the Government of Uganda and ITU, supported by the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund (GDSSCF) and ITU's ICT Development Fund (ICT-DF).
