IT expert was not clearing and has a background with the PRTR system
Limited database storage and facilities which the online reporting system;

11. Facilities reporting​ of data emission calculations for data search forms was limited
Some facilities were not regular for testing of liquid waste regular
PRTR reporting format shall be coming along with guideline on how to fill the form as well providing emission factors, calculation methods, and released media,
Laboratory’s testing was not regular
There are limited legal support, mechanism in place, capacity, and information for PRTR implementation;
There is the need for more national consultants in various fields of chemical expertise;
There is knowledge barrier among personnel regarding chemicals wastes management, even consultants;
There were hardly to engage with stakeholders to be participated in the PRTR trials,
There was an obstacle for project implementation which related to delayed budget allocation as well as limited supports,
