During both missions, the delegation held meetings with the authorities responsible for ozone layer protection, e-waste management, and other relevant stakeholders. The missions also included site inspections of refrigerant collection centers and refrigerant reclamation facilities.

Through these activities, key challenges hindering the advancement of life‑cycle refrigerant management—both broadly and within the context of the project—were identified in each country.

The findings gathered during the missions will serve as essential inputs for the next phase of project planning.
