Regional E-Waste Management Strategy The Strategy had five pillars:- Pillar1: Policy, Legal and Regulatory frameworks. Pillar 2: Infrastructure for E-waste Management. Pillar 3: Resource Mobilization Pillar 4: Coordination and Institutional Alignment Pillar 5: Capacity Building, Research and Innovation
Status of Implementation Pillar 1: Policy, Legal and regulatory framework: E-waste Policies, regulations developed and reviewed in all EACO member states ( Burundi worked with with ITU to develop an e-waste policy, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania have reviewed their policies and regulations and South Sudan is engaging to start the development of an e-waste policy Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania are at advanced level for the implementation of EPR policies and regulations Uganda have a new law on environment with provision for e- waste management Different regional workshops have been conducted in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019,2022, 2023 in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania respectively.

Status of Implementation Pillar 2: Infrastructure for E-waste Management. E-waste management infrastructure requirements analysis and e- waste surveys for the EACO member states have been done Some EACO member states have established state of art infrastructure for e-waste Management ( Rwanda in 2018, Kenya and Tanzania ) EACO has conducted a study on e-waste statistics in the region with the support of UNITAR Tanzania recently completed Completed ReduCE-waste project by PREVENT Alliance in collaboration with EACO, UNITAR-SCYCLE and WRF Rwanda is currently increasing collection infrastructure in all districts of the Country In the process of setting up an E-waste Demonstration Site at its Konza City Technopolis

Status of Implementation Pillar 5: Capacity Building, Research and Innovation Through the ITU-sponsored Harmonization of E-waste Data project, members of WG 07 and representatives of the National Statistical Offices of EACO Member Countries were trained on E-waste Data Toolkit. Capacity building on Green ICTs and E-waste Management was organized in Kampala, Uganda and attended by members of the national steering committees Researches related to e-waste conducted with pilot studies in Kenya and Burundi EACO WG 07 is planning to hold an e-waste innovation competition/awards. statistics have been
Status of Implementation Burundi Worked in collaboration with ITU on E-waste Policy Completed the ITU-sponsored pilot survey of Harmonization of E- waste Data Kenya In the process of setting up an E-waste Demonstration Site at its Konza City Technopolis Completed the ITU-sponsored pilot survey of Harmonization of E- waste Data Rwanda More awareness activities on e-waste were undertaken especially through media and workshops. EPR Implementation Guidelines on e-waste management supported by ITU/UNEP Increasing collection points in the whole country for easy disposal of e-waste Management from the public
Status of Implementation Completed ReduCE-waste project by PREVENT Alliance in collaboration with EACO, UNITAR-SCYCLE and WRF. A new dismantling facility was established Enacted Regulations and guidelines on e-waste South Sudan The National Communication Authority (NCA) is still engaging the Ministry of Environment to formulate the National Steering Committee and other e-waste management structures.

Challenges Insufficient financial resources to implement some component of strategy especially on infrastructure for E-waste management ( Regional facilities) Slow pace in adopting the free movement of e-waste in the region as raw materials for existing recycling facilities Limited awareness at country levels and Regional levels Countries are at different levels on e-waste management
Recommendations & Way Forward Mobilizing more financial resource and considering implementing infrastructure for E-waste management on PPP basis Member States should consider allocating a budget for e- waste management in order to conduct more awareness and fund e-waste management activities in r Engaging member states especially regulatory authorities to adopt the free movement of e-waste in the region to licensed recycling companies in the region Conduct more awareness campaigns at national and regional level Member states to continue with the implementation of the 2nd Regional E-waste Management Strategy (2022 2027) while sharing experiences and success stories.
