ESDO, in collaboration with UNICEF Bangladesh, successfully hosted a stakeholder workshop to address gaps in lead paint regulation and enforcement within Bangladesh’s industrial sector. Held on January 28, 2025, at Hotel Lake Castle, Gulshan, the event convened government officials, industry leaders, health experts, and environmental advocates to discuss key findings from the Gap Analysis Report and refine recommendations for an actionable policy roadmap. The workshop highlighted legislative and enforcement gaps related to lead in industrial paints, facilitated stakeholder discussions on improving the draft policy brief to establish and enforce the 90-ppm lead standard, and fostered collaborative efforts to strengthen regulatory processes and ensure compliance. Notable participants included Dr. Fahmida Khanom, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change; A T M Safiul Islam, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; Syed Marghub Murshed, Former Secretary of the Government of Bangladesh and ESDO Chairperson; Prof. Md. Abul Hashem, Former Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at Jahangirnagar University; Maya Vandenent, Chief of the Health Section at UNICEF Bangladesh; Dr. Shahriar Hossain, Secretary-General of ESDO; and Siddika Sultana, Executive Director of ESDO. Representatives from the Department of Environment, BSTI, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Commerce, paint brands, academicians, and students also participated. The key takeaway from the workshop emphasized the critical need to enforce a 90-ppm lead limit in industrial paints to safeguard public health, particularly protecting workers and vulnerable communities, including children. Stronger policy action and multi-sector collaboration are essential to achieving a lead-free Bangladesh.
