SMEP Resources
The Sustainable Manufacturing and Environmental Pollution (SMEP) Brochure
The SMEP programme aims to improve upon the existing knowledge of the environmental and health impacts of manufacturing across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and to develop solutions that address complex technical challenges in this area.
SMEP Programme information factsheet
A visual summary of the SMEP Programme’s focal manufacturing sectors and key pollutants arising from the SEI baseline report’s findings.
SMEP Programme: Factual summary of the baseline report: South Asia
A concise visual summary of the SEI baseline report’s findings for South Asia (Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan) – with a specific focus on key industries, pollutant types, human health effects and pollutant pathways. High-level recommendations for possible intervention areas are included in the final factsheet.
Factual summary of the baseline report: Sub-Saharan Africa
A concise visual summary of the SEI baseline report’s findings for Sub-Saharan Africa (Senegal, Nigeria, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana)
Pollution from manufacturing in Kenya and Uganda
Adopting pollution control solutions is a complex challenge. Understanding the solutions that act as “horizontal improvers” across various industries is essential to effectively target public and private investments and improve pollution mitigation solutions in sectors that can yield the greatest benefits for the local environment and human health.
Dashboard shows environmental impacts of exports from African and South Asian countries
UNCTAD and Instituto 17 created an interactive dashboard which combines economic, trade and product life-cycle analysis, to provide governments and industry actors with key export pollution data for manufacturing sectors in 13 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
