Egypt programs / Cairo air improvement project (CAIP), air quality monitoring component
Project to reduce the most serious causes of air pollution in Cairo, Egypt (CAIP). The project, to be implemented by a U.S. contractor and Egyptian public and private sector partners headed by the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA), will reduce lead and total suspended particulate (TSP) emissions, support a vehicle emissions testing and tune-up (VETT) program, monitor the air quality of CAIP interventions, and initiate a public awareness and communications campaign. CAIP efforts to reduce lead emissions will focus on improving process and emissions controls for smelting operations and will begin with the development of a lead smelter action plan, to be developed in concert with private and public sector smelters. Specific interventions are to: modernize the secondary lead processing plant at General Metals; improve and possibly consolidate larger private smelters; clean-up emissions of smaller private smelters; and foster policy dialogue on lead-related issues, in particular the broad availability of unleaded gasoline and supply and demand issues in the secondary lead industry. Reduction of TSP emissions will be more complex because they are generated by more sources th

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
