The Minamata Convention on Mercury's specific international programme has announced that in its first round of funding, five projects from around the globe have been given the go ahead.
The total funding of $1m will be split between projects in Argentina, Armenia, Benin, Iran and Lesotho, it was revealed this week.
The specific international programme was set up under the Convention’s Article 13 to support capacity building and technical assistance. Its aim is to improve the capacity of developing countries and those with economies in transition to implement their obligations under the Convention.
