Project Countries

UNEP has been actively supporting member States in the development and implementation of SPP policies. Since 2009, over 20 countries have been assisted in the framework of various projects.

In 2012, UNEP has published Guidelines for SPP implementation which are the main methodological and guiding tool used by project countries to develop and implement their SPP policies. A second edition of the Guidelines was released in 2021.
