Capacity building is an important part of strengthening chemical safety.

OPCW has conducted numerous training activities for African professionals, including courses addressing chemical safety management, risk assessment, emergency planning, safety culture and national frameworks.

Training Beyond Technical Skills

Effective chemical safety requires more than equipment.

It also requires:

• Knowledge
• Leadership
• Communication
• Planning
• Risk awareness
• Cooperation
• Institutional capacity

Community Education

Meridian Africa Foundation complements professional capacity-building by promoting accessible community awareness and education.

Our Principle

Knowledge should move from institutions to communities in responsible and understandable ways.
