Manufacturing Pollution Synopsis Series 1: Uptake of pollution mitigating technologies
SMEP engaged Open Capital Advisors (OCA) to identify private-sector-generated pollution mitigation solutions that have the potential to scale and realise pollution abatement impact in Kenya and Uganda’s manufacturing sector.

Manufacturing Pollution Synopsis Series 1: Country and Sector Priorities
As part of the SMEP prioritisation work for South Asia, Pure Earth presented high-priority interventions/solutions to reduce environmental impacts and human health exposure from lead contamination from the Tanneries and Used Lead-Acid Batteries (ULAB) sectors in Bangladesh.

Manufacturing Pollution Synopsis Series 1: Country and Sector Priorities
SMEP contracted Global Alliance on Health and Pollution, in partnership with Sustainable World-Air Quality Asia to research Used Lead Acid Battery Manufacture in Bangladesh and Tanneries in Pakistan

Data dashboard: Visualising the 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.

Manufacturing pollution in Uganda and Kenya: Potential for private sector responses
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.
