"Namibia currently lacks the capacity to monitor e-waste, which makes e-waste hard to track and hampers the setting and assessment of targets that are necessary to move to a more sustainable and circular economy. In line with policy objectives, a draft national policy on management of waste electrical electronic equipment (WEEE) was requested to help build a framework to assess baseline data on volumes of electrical and electronic equipment put on the market and e-waste generated, including types, routes and flows. Challenges encountered in Namibia including the lack of a quantification methodology, legislative processes, and the overall e-waste management are identified and a roadmap with recommendations on how to improve e-waste data quality and availability are presented in this report."
