China Trust Fund provides $300,000 USD grant for the Support towards ratification and implementation of the chemicals and waste conventions in Central Asia Project

On 14 December 2012, China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection (China MEP) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) signed a framework agreement on strategic cooperation. This agreement involved China MEP committing $2 million annually to the China Trust Fund which focuses on environmental protection in African, ASEAN, and Central Asian countries. According to a 2017 Final Report from UNEP, $300,000 USD from the China Trust Fund was allocated towards the Support towards ratification and implementation of the chemicals and waste conventions in Central Asia Project (T3-P3) (p. 68). This project took place in five unspecified countries from Central Asia. It began in January 2016 and ended in December 2016. The purpose of this project was to promote global agreements (namely the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) Convention and the Minamata Convention) related to chemical and waste management.
