The Federal Ministry of Environment in
collaboration with the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) is presently
executing a Project on Mainstreaming Sound
Management of Chemicals into MDG Based
Development Plans and Policies.
The sound management of chemicals (SMC) in
Nigeria is essential for achieving sustainable
development, including the eradication of
poverty and disease, the improvement of human
health and the environment and the elevation of
standard of living. The overall Project objective
is to impact the average Nigerian involved in
various aspects of the chemical life-cycle; while
bringing coherence and synergy into the Nigerian
chemicals management infrastructure with the
integration of chemicals safety into national
development projects and programmes targeted
at poverty reduction and sustainable
development.
Currently, the Project is at the stage of
developing a national situation report on sound
management of chemicals as an important step to
identifying a baseline of capacity for SMC. The
report into be developed as part of a process that
identifies gaps, needs and opportunities, sequel
to which priority-setting exercise and ultimately,
integration within national development policies
and plans would be accomplished. The national
situation report would function as an awareness-
raising tool needed to familiarize government
decision-makers and stakeholders with the
strengths, weaknesses and overall capacity for
SMC within the Country, as well as identifying
