Since 2003 the International POPs Elimination Project has engaged over 350 NGOs, and implemented more than 290 projects in 65 countries. To learn more about the IPEP outcomes and success, please download the IPEP Review Report.
PROJECT PARTNERS:
United Nations agencies involved with the International POPs Elimination Project include UNEP and UNIDO.
UNEP (in Nairobi) is the Project Implementing Agency with final responsibility for Project oversight, monitoring, and evaluation. UNIDO (in Vienna) has a closer management relationship to the Project. UNIDO will hold IPEP GEF funds, and will disburse money to various NGOs around the world who have agreed to perform Project Activities.
Other institutions providing funding include the Government of Switzerland and the Netherlands, and the Canada POPs Fund.
The Environmental Health Fund (EHF) will have lead responsibility for global aspects of Project management. As Executing Agency, EHF is legally responsible to UNEP and UNIDO for successful Project execution in conformity with the terms of the approved Project Brief. At the same time, EHF remains politically responsible to the IPEN Steering Committee in its execution of IPEP global management functions. The main roles of EHF in Global Project management are: to coordinate the work of the Regional Hubs; to assure the Hubs, the Expert Teams, the Project Web Site and other elements of IPEP are functioning and performing properly; to coordinate with other NGOs who have been funded to provide IPEP co-financed Project services or support; to assure IPEN Steering Committee oversight and involvement in the Project; and to manage Project interface with UNIDO and UNEP.
