The region has been host to a number of hazardous waste management and cleaner production projects sponsored by international and bilateral donors over the past decades. Nonetheless, the infrastructure for management of hazardous wastes - including legislation, administration and disposal - remains extremely patchy throughout the countries of the region. This would seem to argue strongly for a step-by-step approach that sets in place the basic information, as well as the legislative and administrative requirements before a comprehensive practical waste management strategy could be formulated.

La mise en œuvre effective de la Convention de Bâle pour une gestion écologiquement rationnelle des déchets dangereux, passe par une bonne maîtrise de la quantité et du type de déchets produits. Les pays africains francophones, à l’instar de nombreux pays en voie de développement ou à économie en transition, connaissent de nombreux problèmes environnementaux liés à la gestion des déchets.La gestion écologiquement rationnelle des déchets banals et des déchets dangereux en particulier, reste souvent un concept difficilement applicable du fait de la non maîtrise de leurs productions. En effet, il n’existe pratiquement aucun système de suivi de la production de déchets industriels par les producteurs et les autorités compétentes. Les quantités de déchets dangereux produites semblent croissantes avec pour corollaire des menaces réelles sur la santé humaine et environnementale.

Pour pallier cet état des lieux et permettre aux pays d’asseoir des bases claires pour la prise de décision stratégique en ce qui concerne la gestion des déchets dangereux, le Centre Régional de la Convention de Bâle pour les Pays Africains Francophones avait inclus dans son programme de travail la réalisation des inventaires nationaux des déchets dangereux dans trois pays.
