This self-paced course is aimed at Member States' and stakeholders interested in monitoring and measuring e-waste through data and statistics. This course is relevant for different stakeholders, including local authorities, customs and finance, environmental statistics, trade and commerce, national statistical offices. The course is intended for stakeholders with prior knowledge of e-waste and is open to those who are being provided (or have received in the past) technical assistance by ITU and UNITAR on e-waste data. 

This is a self-paced e-learning course which should take you approximately 7- 8 hours to complete. Each module ends with a quiz, if you pass all the quizzes (80% minimum), you will receive a badge certifying successful completion of the course. You will be issued the badge after the completion of the last quiz and the submission of the course evaluation form. 

Module 1: General Principles of E-waste Statistics
Participants will be introduced to the Global E-waste Statistics Partnership, the harmonized framework used to measure e-waste, the e-waste classification system, the minimum requirements for e-waste statistics, and the policy relevance of e-waste statistics.

Module 2: How to Measure Imports and Exports of E-waste
Participants will gain an understanding of different behaviors related to e-waste exports through examples of approaches. The module also highlights data sources available to quantify exports.

Module 3: How to Track Sales of EEE and How to Measure E-waste Generated
