During a March 14-16 conference in Nairobi, United Nations Environment Program Executive Director Achim Steiner addressed the Pan-African Forum on E-Waste, saying that African countries should adopt robust national laws to curb the dumping of electronic waste and to monitor the flow of obsolete electronic products from other continents. Conference delegates agreed to encourage African countries to work closely with the Basel Convention on drafting laws to control dumping and to explore possibilities for green jobs in the e-waste sector.
