As part of this initiative it is intended to support the establishment of local sustainable e-waste recycling facilities.&lt;br /&gt;
The study's objectives are to provide a situational analysis with respect to the generation and management of electronic waste in Uganda. It aims:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;to provide the necessary data to define a solution for handling the e-waste associated with the UNIDO/Microsoft refurbishment project.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;to provide general data about the e-waste situation in Uganda and thus the study should also serve for further initiatives by other stakeholders, e.g. for the developing a policy framework, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
