Reducing pollution from harmful chemicals in Tunisia: SCP/RAC is looking for a national expert/consultant with knowledge of chemical management
11 Agost 2021 | Actualitzat: 20 Agost 2021
The Regional Activity Centre for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP/RAC) is seeking a national expert/consultancy based in Tunisia with knowledge of chemicals management to provide technical assistance on the implementation of prevention approaches for 3 new POPs (PFAs, HBCD, SCCP).
The objective of the expert’s mission will be to provide technical assistance to achieve the practical replacement of these 3 new POPs, listed in Annex A of the Stockholm Convention, through the adoption of environmentally sound alternatives in Tunisia.
The selected expert will support SCP/RAC in the implementation process of the inventorying, sampling and substitution of these chemicals with safe alternatives. The expert will also be involved in other specific activities, such as the organization of a seminar and the conduct of an awareness campaign.
This consultancy takes place in the framework of the 'Mediterranean Sea Program' (MedProgramme) funded by the GEF, in which SCP/RAC is mainly involved in the implementation of component 1 - Reduction of Land Based Pollution in Priority Coastal Hotspots and Measuring Progress to Impacts.
The duration of this first consultancy is estimated until September 2022.

- The MedProgramme represents the first GEF programmatic multi-focal area initiative in the Mediterranean Sea.
- SCP/RAC as centre operating in support of two international treaties: the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterraneanand the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, is playing a key role in the implementation of the MedProgramme, and is mainly involved in the implementation of component 1 - Reduction of Land Based Pollution in Priority Coastal Hotspots and Measuring Progress to Impacts
- In the framework of the MedProgramme, SCP/RAC has proposed an innovative approach to tackle the issue of toxic chemicals based on preventing the use of toxic substances identified as country priorities in order to avoid the generation of hazardous waste whose end-of-life management is very costly
