Regional sites 
The Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Toolkit provides training modules and interactive tools that enable officials to use risk-based approaches to prioritize and manage POP and other hazardous substance contaminated sites.
The goals of the POPs Toolkit are to enable officials responsible for contaminated site 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.
The POPs Toolkit has been created as part of the World Bank Regional Capacity Building Program for Health Risk Management of POPs in South East Asia Project.
This project was developed to complement the National Implementation Plans (NIPs) for the Stockholm Convention on POPs. Funding for the POPs Capacity Building Project is provided by the Canadian International Development Agency’s POPs Fund, and is coordinated by the World Bank.
