The 8th edition of the EACO Regional Awareness Conference on Sustainable E-Waste Management marked a historic milestone as the first conference hosted on Congolese soil, in Kinshasa. Building on the 10-point Declaration adopted in Nairobi, the conference focused on translating commitments into action — measuring EPR scheme implementation, advancing cross-border e-waste movement frameworks, and deepening public-private partnerships across the region.
