National Plastic Action Partnerships (NPAP): A Multistakeholder Approach to Addressing Plastic Pollution in Developing Countries
AI summary Read the abstract
This report describes the National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP) model for addressing plastic pollution in developing countries through multi-stakeholder partnerships, drawing on lessons from Indonesia, Ghana, and Vietnam. The study examines how NPAPs align divergent stakeholder interests and identifies both the successes and challenges of this approach.
How can Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships manage plastic pollution in developing countries? See what we learnt from Indonesia, Ghana, and Vietnam about National Plastic Action Partnerships (NPAP) in this report. We describe the challenges of plastic pollution and the need for Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (MSP) and describe an emerging MSP process called Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) and its sister NPAP counterparts in developing countries. NPAP aligns divergent interests of various stakeholders such as perspectives, targets, priorities, and timeline of all stakeholders, thereby trying to engineer change. There are some challenges too; read the report for more information.
