A Practical Guide for the Systemic Design of WEEE Management Policies in Developing Countries
This guide book presents a methodology that facilitates the design of sustainable WEEE management policies in developing countries. The different methods and design recommendations discussed are based on the methodological support provided during the design of national policy for WEEE management in Colombia as well as the design team’s wealth of experiences.
With this guidebook governments have a tool at hand to lead the design of national WEEE policies, engage all relevant actors and increase their empowerment and responsibilities for sustainable solutions. Applying the methods of the guidebook leads to tangible (quantitative) products—such as the policy itself, reports, or records of meetings and agreements, as well as and intangible products, such as the actors’ learning processes or enhanced knowledge of the system.
