Report on technical assistance needs assessment to implement the Rotterdam Convention - 2020

The Conference of the Parties at its ninth meeting in 2019 invited developing country Parties and Parties with economies in transition to provide information to the Secretariat on their needs in terms of technical assistance, according to the provisions of the Convention, their difficulties in implementing the Convention and any other views in that regard (decision RC-9/8).

Considering the above and with the aim to facilitate the collection of information, the Secretariat developed this online questionnaire. Questions are based on priority areas for assistance identified through the initial questionnaire circulated in 2016.
