You can access it directly at the following link : http://www.technet21.org/TFIWasteMngtreport_Eng.zip Modibo's accompanying message follows. __________________________________ Here is a summary of last year's activities on waste management in the African Region. It was presented by John Lloyd at the last meeting of the Task Force on Immunization in Africa in Luanda in December 2003. We still receive concerns and questions from countries, which are answered in this report. Although it is still in draft form, I really think it can be useful for everybody dealing with waste management in the countries. Regards.
