The purpose of the Lead in Paint Community of Practice (LiP CoP) is to support all practitioners working to eliminate lead paint such as the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint. The community of practice helps share knowledge, latest research and developments, learn what representatives from different sectors are doing to phase out lead in paint and provide access to expertise on various topics related to lead in paint. This initiative is organized by University of Cape Town and SAICM Secretariat under the SAICM GEF project “Global best practices on emerging chemical policy issues of concern under the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management".
