In a move that strengthens Africa’s capacity to lead innovative solutions, eleven countries on the continent have joined forces in a transformative project to address the risks associated with hazardous chemicals. The initiative, “AFLDC-2,” supported by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and funded with a $21.3 million grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), marks a milestone in advancing sustainable approaches led by the continent.

Angola, Gambia, Senegal, and other less developed countries in Africa will adopt tailored strategies to manage persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury—issues exacerbated by inadequate infrastructure and limited regulatory frameworks. This pioneering project prioritizes the implementation of advanced technologies and circular economy practices to ensure effective waste management and reduce toxic emissions at their source.

The AFLDC-2 approach focuses on strengthening local capacities, promoting the elimination of obsolete chemicals, and developing environmentally sound management models. This strategy not only addresses the immediate needs of the participating countries but also positions Africa as a global leader in environmental sustainability, demonstrating that solutions adapted to the African context can overcome global challenges.

In addition to meeting the requirements of multilateral agreements such as the Stockholm and Minamata Conventions, this project fosters regional cooperation and knowledge sharing. African nations are not only seeking to solve local problems but also to set a precedent that inspires other continents to follow their steps toward a cleaner and more resilient future.

Gareth Phillips, Manager of Climate and Environmental Finance at the AfDB, highlighted the project’s historic impact. “Africa is leading with innovative solutions for global challenges. This is the beginning of a new era of sustainability for the continent and the world,” he stated. With AFLDC-2, Africa reaffirms its role as a catalyst for global change toward responsible chemical and waste management.
