This third webinar in the series of IOMC webinars on GFC Implementation Programmes focuses on the development of a GFC Implementation Programme on “Strengthening Economic and Industry Sector Engagement and Action Along Value Chains”. The topic for the programme was proposed at the fifth International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM-5) in 2023 in Resolution V/8.

The webinar will present suggestions for a terms of reference for the programme as well intersessional activities to support programme development, including a global multi-stakeholder workshop scheduled to take place from 24-26 February 2025. Furthermore, an outline for a guidance document to develop industry strategies, as called for by Target D6, will be presented.

In advance of the workshop, a draft discussion document will be made available to webinar participants and GFC stakeholders via the webinar website. The draft document provides details on the proposed Programme, and builds on an introductory draft IOMC Discussion Document on Implementation Programmes, as well as comments received by stakeholders posted here​.
