STRATEGIC REGIONAL PROGRAMME FOR LATIN AMERICA 2007-2009
Latin America: UNIDO’s work in Multilateral Environmental Agreements
www.unido.org
Multilateral Environmental
Agreements Branch (MEA)
 Montreal Protocol on Substances
that deplete the Ozone Layer
 Stockholm Convention on
Persistent Organic Pollutants
www.unido.org
Stockholm ConventionNational Implementation Plans
NIP projects in 42 Countries in Africa,
Asia, Latin America( 3) and
Europe: Total GEF budget of U$ 24
million.
2. China, P. R.: Building the capacity of
China to develop NIP- FSP=U$ 10
million.
3. Global: Fostering civil society for
implementation of the SC; MSP= U$
2 million.
4. India pipeline: Capacity building for
NIP development. PDF-B for a FSP
U$ 9 million.

Post- NIP
Slovakia: Non-combustion technology
for destroying POPs” FSP U$ 20
million”.
2. Romania: “Disposal of PCB” – MSP
U$ 2 million.
3. Ghana and Nigeria: “Contaminated
sites”- FSP U$ 4 million.
4. Regional Arab (PERSGA):BAT and
BEP-MSP U$ 2 million (TBS).

Post- NIP
The advantage to work with UNIDO
because of its comparative
advantage in chemicals
management deriving from its
enduring relationship with the
industrial sector was acknowledged
by GEF which conferred to UNIDO
the status of Executing Agency with
expanded opportunities

Post- NIP 2.
Macedonia: “PCBs Phase-out for Disposal” MSP
U$ 2 million (TBS).
6. Vietnam: “BAT and BEP” MSP U$ 2 million
(TBS).
7. China: “ Medical Waste” FSP U$ 45 million
(TBS).
8. China: “Non-combustion technology” FSP U$ 10
million (pipeline).
9. Turkey (Pest), Mongolia (PCBs/Med.Waste),

Programme potential
 Non-Com for Slovakia, Philippines, China and
Africa. Expected portfolio U$ 80 million.
 BAT/BEP and PCBs for China, Jordan, Yemen,
Egypt, Morocco, Mongolia, Nepal, Bulgaria,
Romania, Vietnam and N. Korea. Expected
portfolio U$ 50 million.
 Medical Waste for China, Mongolia, Jordan,
Morocco, Africa. Expected portfolio U$ 100
million.
 Contaminated Sites for Ghana, Nigeria,
Morocco, Indonesia, Europe (Romania,
Macedonia). Expected portfolio U$ 50 million.
 Capacity building for Bolivia, Ethiopia,
Tanzania. Expected portfolio U$ 10 million.

Counterpart support and Action needed.Stockholm
Convention
Counterpart support
 In the implementation of the Stockholm Convention,co-financing
of Post-NIP can be a problem.Some co-financing from developed
countries’ funds could be sought for low income countries in Latin
America( Bolivia)
Action needed
 Ratification of the Stockholm Convention as well as signature of a
subcontract with UNIDO are important preconditions.Guatemala is
still outstanding so post NIP cannot be started yet
www.unido.org
Potential future trends for the MEA
Branch in LAC
Chemicals will continue to be disposed and phase out
For example
Disposal of PCBs could be considered in the Post-NIP of
Venezuela
A Solvent Sectoral Plan for Mexico for phasing-out the
Ozone Depleting Solvents, i.e. CTC and TCA will be prepared
at the beginning of 2007.
www.unido.org
Key Montreal Protocol Products and Services
available today for LAC region
 Focus on capacity building through
workshops and technicians training
 Close linkages with counterparts from
farmers and producers associations
( Methyl Bromide)to Universities
 Assistance to export-oriented
production
 Based on the experience and
technical staff trained by UNIDO in
the Latin America countries, we can
offer a strong guidance in the
implementation of projects in
South-South collaboration.

Examples of Constrains
In some countries the main constraint has been the
lobby of powerful farmers associations against the
possible elimination of Methyl Bromide
www.unido.org
Success Story
CFC phase out in Mexico was appreciated by ExCom as the first country to ban both
production and consumption.
SUCCESS
To join efforts with a national program for domestic refrigeration replacement for saving energy
purposes called FIDE with the aim to recover the refrigerant.
To select adequate centres from the FIDE network.
To create a CFC recovery, and some storage centres from old appliances, to upgrade the
centres with tools and machines for CFC recover and to train the staff of the centres.
90 centres were selected and upgraded equipped.
A total of 274 technicians were trained to recover the refrigerant.
To date 604,000 domestic refrigerators and 126,000 air conditioners have been replaced
and 110 ton of CFC recovered.
The estimated total of energy saved with this project is 1,028,178,238 kWh/year.
