Abstract e-Waste management needs to fulfill different objectives which go beyond pure technical implementation. Especially in developing countries and countries in transition, with a lacking legal and institutional framework, as well as missing infrastructure, e-waste management demands for a comprehensive and structured approach. This document presents the methodology for performing a country assessment in order to understand the current framework conditions, including a review of the current legislation, a stakeholder assessment, a massflow assessment (inventory) and an environmental & socioeconomic impact assessment.
