Assessing the Impact of Global Fund Grants
To assess the possible environmental impact of GF grants, rapid assessments on healthcare waste were carried out
![Page 6: Environmental safeguarding and healthcare waste management in the context of undp work](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/58ab776d1a28abb54e8b67a3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Recommendations generally applicable to all GF-financed health programmes:
a) Provision of HBV vaccination to social workers and outreach staff and access to post exposure prophylaxis
b) Strengthen the disposal systems for waste from IDU
c) Include sharps containers and safety boxes in the supply plan for syringe exchange actions
d) Include a budget for the safe disposal of unusable pharmaceuticals
e) Review of the system for the selection of syringe sizes for PWID
f) Organize a workshop on the management of waste generated during GF grant activities

International Environmental Conventions on Chemicals
This novel and unique tool will allow procurement practitioners to measure and monitor the status and progress of healthcare procurement related to the compliance with International Environmental Conventions
The indicators proposed as part of this guide are intended to serve as a building block of the GPIH and the compliance with International Environmental Conventions might be considered as one of the pillars for the development of the Index

• Developing a list of products that remove priority toxic chemicals from production, products and waste
• Engaging with suppliers and manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical devices to stimulate the development of greener products and manufacturing processes, subsequently reducing the environmental burden of the health sector
Outcomes• Initial priority list of green
procurement criteria and the monitoring of their implementation
• Recommendations on specifications and how to evaluate and select healthcare products based on the established green procurement criteria
• Assessment of the environmental footprint from UNDP purchased health care products based on three environmental pillars: Carbon Footprint, Toxicity and Resource Depletion
• Effective phase-in of the green procurement criteria through a multi-stakeholder engagement process
