There is still no Framework Law on Waste, and existing regulations are insufficient. Adding to these challenges, the staff of the Division of Waste and Chemical Substances Management (DWCSM) of the Ministry of Environment Protection and Natural Resources (MEPNR) have been reduced and currently number only five, which is insufficient to accomplish the mandate and responsibilities of the division. Since 2003, limited progress has been achieved: there are no sanitary landfills and very limited recycling facilities in the country, major hazardous waste hotspots are yet to be treated, and the majority of industrial waste is stored either on the premises of industrial installations or on adjacent land.
