Through the collective efforts of partners and stakeholders, a national initiative was championed to address the growing challenge of electronic waste in Ghana at a time when public awareness and technical knowledge on the subject were still limited. With guidance and leadership of MEST and EPA, foundational documents and strategies were developed to support awareness creation and inform national action for the control of importation and management of e-waste in Ghana.
