INFOCAP

Information Exchange Network on Capacity Building for the Sound Management of Chemicals

The Information Exchange Network on Capacity Building for the Sound Management of Chemicals (INFOCAP) is an internet-based mechanism established to facilitate the systematic exchange and public accessibility of information and experiences relevant to capacity building projects for the sound management of chemicals. INFOCAP was designed to enhance effective cooperation among countries and organizations which are providing and/or receiving assistance related to the sound management of chemicals. INFOCAP may also be used as a tool for improving linkages among global, regional and national capacity building activities, including those facilitated through the IFCS and through international agreements related to sound chemicals management. INFOCAP includes information on capacity building activities related to all chemicals and all stages of the chemical life cycle.
