Reduced emissions of unintentionally produced POPs (uPOPs) is hoped to be achieved under the GEFPAS project through a range of funded initiatives including the provision of quality vocational training of semi-skilled waste employees. It was envisioned that this would involve the development and delivery of a waste management vocational training course at a regional institution. The overall project objectives related to the training were to create a program that would: · Develop a solid waste management vocational training program in conjunction with regional institutions; · Routinely train course participants to become waste management trainers using the ‘trainthe-trainer’ concept; and · Ensure long-term sustainability and continuity of the training program with regional institutions.

At the second PACC Multipartite Review Meeting in August 2011 it was agreed that Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) would be incorporated into PACC pilot demonstration projects. This report documents the planning of the PACC CBA work program, outputs and impacts to date, and next steps for the coming 12 months. The focus of the report is an evaluation of three CBA training workshops which were run between November 2011 and February 2012.
