The Implementing Sustainable Low and Non-Chemical Development in Small Island Developing States (ISLANDS) Programme seeks to address the sound management of chemicals and waste in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). This ISLANDS Programme covers four (4) geographical regions including the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Pacific, and Atlantic Ocean, and is being implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

The Basel Convention Regional Centre for Training and Technology Transfer for the Caribbean (BCRC-Caribbean) is currently executing the Caribbean Child Project (GEF 10472) which involves three (3) countries (The Bahamas, Cuba and Dominica) (see Project Document here: 10472 CEO Endorsement Document.pdf).

In this regard, the BCRC-Caribbean is seeking to recruit a qualified plastic waste management individual consultant to work with us on Activity 3.3.1: Assess plastic waste generation from the cruise ship sector in The Bahamas, developing strategies to process cruise ship plastic streams parallel to municipal waste in an environmentally sound manner.
