Under the Director of the Capacity Development and Implementation (CDI) Bureau, the Field Operations Section (FOS) is responsible for the development, implementation, monitoring, and closing of Implementation Support projects. It develops agreements and assists in developing country specific as well as regional projects and programmes by identifying priority areas, developing objectives, activities, and deliverables, setting time frames, and specifying budgetary requirements.

These foams contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are listed in either Annex A or B of the Stockholm Convention as well as precursors that transform in the environment into listed chemicals.

The project will be executed in five African countries (Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa).
