Kenya is a party to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS) which it ratified in September 2004, and developed its National Implementation Plan(NIP). In view of the amendments to the convention, Kenya would like to review and update it in accordance with the provisions of article 7 of the Convention. The updated NIP will provide a framework for Kenya to develop and implement, in a systematic and participatory way, priority policy and regulatory reforms, capacity building, and investment programs for the new POPs. The process of updating the NIPs will enable Kenya to establish inventories of products/articles containing new POPs, industrial processes using them and will also provide useful information on the concentration levels and distribution of new POPs across Kenya.
