Roadmap for Harmonization of Vehicle Emission Standards in East Africa

This Roadmap for Harmonization of Vehicle Emission Standards in East Africa has been developed as part of PCFV/UN Environment’s support towards helping the East Africa subregion to initiate discussion on harmonization of vehicle emission standards in addition to helping individual nations in the sub-region to develop roadmaps for effective vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs. The Roadmap has been developed through a consultative process that took place between November 2016 – March 2017 through national and regional consultative meetings with various stakeholders within the East Africa sub-region including: national standards organizations, environmental protection agencies, transport and infrastructure ministries and departments, technical standards committee of the East African Community (EAC), government agencies in charge of energy, trade and industrialization, local government units, trade and industry associations, academia, NGOs and consumer organizations. The process was led by the Environmental Compliance Institute (ECI) with support from UN Environment (DTIE/Transport Unit).
