4. Important conclusions

• The public sector in a country is the main driver
  of action related to most institutional and
  regulatory initiatives, waste-related promotion,
  information, education and awareness-raising.
• The more investment-heavy actions, principally
  the introduction of cleaner technologies, are
  primarily the responsibility of the owners of the
  production facilities that generate the waste.

5. Synergies between Conventions

• There are overlapping interests between different
  conventions dealing with ESM of hazardous and
  other wastes. In designing actions, the following
  must be taken into account
• Basel Convention
• Stockholm Convention
• Rotterdam Convention
• Bamako Convention
