1.0 INTRODUCTION
Hatfield Consultants Ltd. (Hatfield) is pleased to present the Project Implementation Plan (PIP) for the project entitled ‘the Regional Capacity Building Program for Health Risk Management of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in South East Asia Project” (hereafter referred to as the POPs Project). The PIP was unanimously approved by the World Bank and the Regional Launching Workshop in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR, on 4 April 2008.
The goal of the POPs Project is to enable officials responsible for POPs management to increase their understanding and their use of risk-based approaches for management of POPs and other chemicals and prioritize POPs interventions to reduce local health impacts, particularly on the poor and vulnerable. Funding for the POPs Capacity Building Project is provided by the Canadian International Development Agency’s POPs Fund, and is implemented by the World Bank.
This POPs Project is designed to respond to the needs to improve NIP methodology outlined in the TOR by enhancing the capacity of government agencies in the South East Asian Region to manage POPs and POP-like chemicals, using a risk-based management approach applied at a regional level. Improved regional cooperation on a broader list of pollutants, including persistent toxic substances (PTSs) is a secondary objective of the program. As a result of the program, officials responsible for POPs management within the four target countries will increase their understanding and use a risk-based approach to manage POPs and other chemicals, and prioritize POPs-related mitigation activities to reduce local health risk.
Hatfield will use its 14 years experience working on dioxin/furan and other POPs assessment projects in the South East Asia region and Canada as the basis for implementing the current project. Hatfield’s proposed strategies will support the development and strengthening of capacity, and will be aimed at enabling the participating countries to fulfill their obligations under the Stockholm Convention. Strategies will be ground-level aimed at implementing specific phase-out and remediation measures at national and/or regional level, and will include components of targeted capacity building.
The four countries participating in the program include Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, and Thailand. However, China, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines and Viet Nam are also invited to participate in regional activities under the program. Other complementary program activities will be implemented by national consultants or World Bank staff, and will be incorporated into the results of the current program.

1.1 BACKGROUND
Toxic chemicals are increasingly of concern to the global community particularly in the rapidly-developing counties of South East Asia (Figure 1). Historically, key sources of contaminants including POPs, come from pesticides used in agriculture; however, rapid industrial development, improper handling, storage and import/export of banned chemicals, and historical herbicide usage during the US-Viet Nam War (e.g., Agent Orange) have resulted in widespread dispersion of the these toxic substances and the creation of high deposition areas or ‘Hot spots’.

of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in South East Asia
Growing international concern regarding the risk of exposure to POPs on human health resulted in coordinated efforts to reduce and/or eliminate releases of these substances into the environment. In May 2001, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (UNEP/POPS/INC.5/7) was adopted by 92 signing parties. The Stockholm Convention was ratified by the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) in Johannesburg in December, 2001 as an internationally legally binding instrument for implementing international action on certain persistent organic pollutants.
With the objective of eliminating or restricting the production and use of intentionally produced POPs, the Stockholm Convention provides participating countries with basic objectives and principles in developing comprehensive programs and control regimes with respect to POPs management. The Stockholm Convention is intended to address POPs that are (1) intentionally produced, such as pesticides, insecticides, rodenticides and fungicides; (2) produced intentionally and whose use is restricted to disease vector control, for example DDT for control of malaria; and (3) produced and released unintentionally as the result of human activity. The latter category includes dioxins, furans, dioxin-like PCBs, and hexachlorobenzene that are generated primarily as by-products of incomplete combustion.
There are two other UNEP Conventions that are closely related to the Stockholm Convention. The Basel Convention (Basel Convention on the Control of Trans-boundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, 1989), and the Rotterdam Convention (The Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade, 1998), seek to provide an international framework governing the environmentally sound management of hazardous chemicals throughout their lifecycles. Together, the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions constitute “cradle-to-grave” management of hazardous chemicals. All three Conventions address the technical assistance needs of developing countries. The treaties outline the need for regional centers for training and technology transfer, and a Technical Cooperation Trust Fund (or other “financial mechanism”), to be operated by the Global Environment Facility on an interim basis). The combination of these three treaties will have the greatest influence on the future management of POPs.2

1.2 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (PIP) METHODOLOGY
The PIP is designed to provide a guiding vision to ensure that all of the project implementation partners agree on the activities contained within the POPs Project, as well as to communicate to the Implementing Agency the monitoring and evaluation criteria for the project. Through the PIP development process, the project team has gathered significant information related to project activities and anticipated outputs, as well as the information gathered and confirmed during the technical and financials negotiation with the relevant officials of the World Bank in Washington DC, February 19th and 21st 2008.
The PIP has been developed through a collaborative process that included background research, preliminary discussions with project partners, field missions to Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Thailand in early March 2008 and will be finalized with project stakeholders at the Launch Workshop on April 3 – 5, 2008 in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR. This has resulted in a strong understanding of the on-the-ground reality of the project, as well as identification of the needs of project beneficiaries.
The document is divided into the following sections:
Section 1: Introduction, background and methodology.
Section 2: Project Design including context and rational, logical framework analysis, reach and beneficiaries, cross-cutting themes, public engagement, knowledge enhancement, and risk strategy.
Section 3: Project Management including management approach and structure, roles and responsibilities, project personnel, and methods for tracking and reporting contributions.
Section 4: Project Implementation including outputs and activities, work breakdown structure, schedule and budget.
Section 5: Project Information including performance measurement framework, monitoring risk, reporting framework, and communications plan.

2.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2.1 MANAGEMENT APPROACH AND STRUCTURE
The primary objective of the program is to enhance the capacity of government agencies in the South East Asia Region to manage POPs and POPs-like chemicals using human health risk assessment/management in a regional approach. Improved regional cooperation on a broader chemical agenda is a secondary objective of the program. The Project Team recognizes that effective decision-making depends on the involvement and collaboration of impacted stakeholders including the government, industries, NGOs, and the public. On the national and provincial government side, the project must include strategies to involve all relevant ministries and departments and address the relationships between them and ‘civil society’.
The overall approach to management of the Project emphasizes the full participation of all project partners and beneficiaries. The project has been designed to ensure sustainability of project outputs. The management structure has been designed to reflect the collaborative nature of the project and the need for input from all project partners.
A focus of the project management strategy will be to build upon the existing pool of knowledge and develop new collaborative mechanisms for promoting regional capacity in risk management of POPs. Key project themes include promotion of stakeholder participation, results-oriented outcomes, accountability, transparency, awareness, effectiveness and efficiency, equality and inclusiveness of both men and women.
The Project Team will focus on developing individual capabilities through on-the-job training (‘learning by doing’) for the national consultants, focal persons and other national counterparts; sharing technical expertise between advanced and least advanced countries; and, workshops, seminars and informal exchanges of knowledge in the region.
A project organization chart is presented in Figure 2. The chart illustrates the relationships between the project partners, funding agency, in-country project recipients, and subcontractors, including Golder Associates in Vancouver, British Columbia. Project management will be overseen by Hatfield (based in Vancouver, British Columbia) with on-site project management provided by Hatfield field staff. The project partners include National POPs Focal points in all four participating countries.

3.0 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
All activities and tasks listed in the TOR will be implemented in five inter-related work components as follows:
Work Package/Component 1: Projection Initiation
Work Package/Component 2: Risk Assessment
Work Package/Component 3: Risk Management
Work Package/Component 4: Regional Cooperation
Work Package/Component 5: Final Report and Sustainability.
A detailed explanation of each work component, their inter-links and timeframes, and expected outputs are provided in the Work Plan Gantt Chart in Appendix A1 and brief description of activities in Appendix A2.
3.1 RESULT-BASED MONITORING
Quality management is an essential part of our working process. The Project Team applies will use standard project management procedures for assessing and ensuring the quality of work and monitoring and evaluation of the project results and impacts. The efficient and effective management for project results depends on results-based planning, monitoring and leadership.
The Project Team will work closely with project’s World Bank and other partners to ensure that monitoring and reporting requirements meet the needs of key stakeholders. Efforts will be made to develop online collaborative tools that will facilitate sharing of project outputs, including monitoring data. This will be established through the online POPs Toolkit developed under the project.
The Project Team will use the project initiation phase to develop a Result-Based Monitoring (RBM) strategy that will include performance indicators and baseline data for each of the outcome and output statements in the project RBM Framework as shown in Table 2 below. In order to build continuous learning into the project’s implementation processes, the Project Team will use ‘outcome mapping’ techniques in the initiation phase to foster participation in the Performance Measurement Framework, including project stakeholders from the World Bank, National Focal Points as well as selected organizations. Monitoring and reporting during project implementation will have four outcomes: (i) to encourage the project to look regularly at how it might improve its performance; (ii) to focus the project on change management; (iii) to assist the project in adapting to changing situations in an efficient way; and, (iv) to help the project report on its performance story. A key outcome of the monitoring and evaluation will be ensuring the project is sustainable in the long-term.

2.3. Characterization of Hotspots
Based on the result of the Data Analysis, the main hotspots are characterized for consultation with the National Focal Points. Includes areas suspected of high contamination with POPs, PTSs chemicals, or other toxic contaminants. GIS will be used to support the characterisation of Hotspots for each country and regionally for cataloging sources and stockpiles of target chemicals, document current uses and releases, and list known contaminated areas. Regional sources, trends or practices (e.g. illegal trade, new uses) will be identified where appropriate. All analytical results will then be integrated into a preliminary GIS data-base. The Project Team will flag presence of other contaminants of significant concern at the studied sites (Hotspots) and suggest target chemicals which need be considered at a particular Hotspot, e.g. for pesticides never registered or known to be used at the site.
30 April – 16 June
2.4. Draft 1ST Progress Report
A draft progress report is submitted to the World Bank, and the National Focal Points for their comments. Comments are expected within one week after the submission

30 May
2.6. Risk Analysis
2.6.1. Methodology Selection & Outlines
The Project Team will submit a proposed risk assessment analysis methodology for approval by the World Bank; The Project Team proposes the Environment Canada approach to performing Human Health Risk Assessments, since it provides greater flexibility with regard to data availability and quality. Main components include: i) problem formulation (a qualitative/ semi-quantitative assessment); ii) Exposure and Toxicity; and iii) Risk Characterization.
2 May
2.6.2. Hotspot Identification & Selection
Based on the list of potential sites identified in the Characterization of Hotspots, the Project Team will assist relevant National Focal Points in selecting one Hotspot per country. The Hotspot selection will be supported by analyses performed using the POPs Toolkit and other agreed selection criteria such as access, relevance to the project goal, and being doable, complexity of sites, etc.
2 May
Appendix 2 – Detailed Work Schedule 3 Hatfield
2.6.3. Field data collection in Laos, Cambodia, Thai and Malaysian Hotspots
The study team will utilize existing analytical information (e.g., Japanese screening samples; recent dioxin analyses from Cambodia) to the extent possible. Hatfield recommends that high-quality analytical data be collected from at least some, if not all, of the 4 hotspots to be studied. To speed up the process, the Project Team will split into two sub-teams to collect samples from the selected hotspot in collaboration with the National Focal Points in each country, in line with the established sampling protocols, and the standard Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures. The national consultant, and counter-part staff from participating countries will also carry out additional socio-economic data collectionwithin the vicinity of the hotspot areas of their respective countries.
4 May – 11 May
Sample Analysis in Laboratory
The samples will be transported to the agreed Laboratory(ies) for analysis. The National Focal Points are requested to assist with the required formality. The selection of methods and quality assurance (QA) samples will be employed by analytical laboratories to ensure confidence level needed, sensitivity desired (i.e., detection limits), and real objective of the Project. The Project Team will investigate possible laboratories in Asia or Australia which may be able to do some or all of the analyses; if quality/time/budget issues arise regarding analyses, Hatfield recommends that some or all analyses be performed in Canada.
11 May - 30 June
2.6.4. Integrated Risk Assessment
The assessment focuses on human health and health-related livelihood issues - clarification on relationship between emission levels, ambient POP concentrations, and potential exposure levels; exposure pathways, populations/social groups at risk, dose-response assessments and other parameters. The analysis will also focus on approaches to address data gaps. The decision tree – adapted from the Environment Canada risk-based, tiered approach - will be used. It is a cost-effective and flexible assessment method that allows decision making to be appropriately tailored to site-specific conditions and hazards, while providing a framework for effectively allocating funding and resources. A tiered, iterative approach will start by asking simple questions and will require information which should be readily available. Subsequent questions will become more difficult.
30 June – 21 July
2.6.5. Economic Valuation of Health Risk
Estimate the cost to each country of health and other impacts associated with exposure to target chemicals at the evaluated Hotspots in line with the agreed “2.6.1. Methodology Selection & Outlines”. The main objective is: i) to compare and demonstrate benefits and costs of various management scenarios; ii) to set priorities of different actions; and iii) to get the attention of decision makers by presenting a quantitative analyses of alternative actions and cost of health impacts. The Economic Valuation and Draft Report on Economic Analysis (Task 2.9) will be limited to a general review of
2 – 25 July
Appendix 2 – Detailed Work Schedule 4 Hatfield
economic impacts of POPs at the 4 Hotspots. There will likely not be sufficient site-specific data (analytical, socio-economic, etc.) available from each hotspot to provide a high level of detail for this component. Hatfield will provide a rough economic estimate for each of the hotspots examined (i.e., 1 per country), appropriate to the limited time and budget allocated for this component.
2.7. GIS Health Risk Database/Mapping
The Project Team will develop intuitive information products using the POPs Toolkit, including maps that are easy for decision-makers and other designated users to understand and apply. In addition to supporting efficient management and analysis of data, the GIS of POPs Toolkit provides a means for effective dissemination of environmental and vulnerability data. Hot spot inventory mapping (for both report and online POPs Toolkit use); GIS-based risk analysis (for both report and online POPs Toolkit use); GIS database support for socio-economic cost analysis.
