We are deeply concerned that many countries in particular the least
countries,
developed countries, lack the capacity for sound management of chemicals
and waste throughout their life cycles. We encourage countries and
organizations which have made progress towards achieving the goal of
sound management to assist other countries by sharing knowledge,
