Compilation of existing legal frameworks, management systems and institutional capacities and development of an on-line database    

Two countries, Chile and Nicaragua, were selected as reference cases of the countries of the Andean and Central American regions, respectively, for the preparation of the Inventory and its analysis with regards to the existing legal frameworks, management systems, and institutional capacities for the sound management of priority PTS (including POPs).

In these analyses, the deficiencies in the framework for the sound management of PTS and the priorities for strengthening the legal and institutional framework in the abovementioned countries were identified.

A questionnaire was assembled, taking into consideration the analysis of the NIPs and the information collected during the project, in order to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the regional situation.
