East African Community member states will devise a uniform legal framework, to manage the rising volumes of electronic waste.
At a recent meeting in Nairobi themed Sustainable e-Waste Management in the East African Region, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania agreed to adopt a benchmark that will determine the quality of electronics imported into the region, create awareness of the dangers of e-waste and provide incentives to investors in e-waste management.
