EDSP ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR SCREENING PROGRAM
In 1996 Congress passed the Food Quality Protection Act and amended the Safe Drinking Water Act directing the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a program to determine whether certain substances manufactured in the U.S. or imported into the U.S. have endocrine disruption potential. The resulting Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) is a 4-step screening and testing process to identify and characterize the endocrine activity (specifically, estrogen, androgen and thyroid) from a potential universe of 10,000 pesticides, commercial chemicals and environmental contaminants.
PRIORITIZATION
TIER 1 BATTERY
TIER 2 BATTERY(IF INDICATED BY TIER 1)
RISK ANALYSIS
STEPS
It is important to note that just because a substance interacts with the endocrine system, it does not mean a negative effect will result or that it is endocrine disruptive. Substances known as
“endocrine disruptors” go beyond a simple interaction and result in adverse health effects. Scientists have yet to fully understand the relationship of human diseases of the endocrine system
and exposure to environmental contaminants.
Both List 1 and List 2 will potentially undergo two tiers of testing:Tier 1: Identify substances with the potential to interact with the endocrine system. Tier 2: Confirm and characterize any endocrine-related effects identified by Tier 1 testing and gather informa-tion about any adverse endocrine-related effects at various doses.Tier 1 testing includes 11 assays: 5 in vitro assays to assess estrogen, androgen and thyroid function and steroidogenesis and 6 in vitro assays to assess effects on estrogen, androgen and thyroid function and steroi-dogenesis. If the screening assays show no potential endocrine system effects no further testing should be required from companies who manufacture or import the substance.
When a manufacturer receives a test order, it has 90 days to respond to the EPA stating its intention to follow one of three possible courses of action:
Submit a request for voluntary cancellation of the substance (no need to gather data as the
substance will no longer be available).
Cite or submit existing data to the EPA (agency reviews and determines whether substance will
be subject to Tier 2 testing).
Generate new data according to Good Laboratory Practice and protocols described in the test order.

RISK ANALYSIS
In the 1990s the scientific community became interested in whether certain substances might disrupt the endocrine systems of humans and wildlife and consequently lead to adverse health effects. Laboratory studies have shown that a variety of substances may disrupt the endocrine systems of animals, and there is evidence that chemical contaminants have disrupted the endocrine systems of certain fish and wildlife, resulting in developmental and reproductive problems.
In 1996 Congress passed the Food Quality Protection Act and amended the Safe Drinking Water Act directing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a program to determine whether certain substances have endocrine disruption potential. The resulting Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) is a two-tiered screening and testing process to identify and characterize the endocrine activity (specifically, estrogen, androgen, and thyroid) of a potential universe of 10,000 pesticides, commercial chemicals and environmental contaminants.

The Identity Challenge
The XSpectra Solution
The Internet has revolutionized the workplace; we aren’t bound by the physicality of a cubicle anymore. With the flexibility of mobile computing comes a new security challenge.
It’s no longer about securing an o�ce network. It’s
about individual identities — is the employee
accessing a server authorized to do so, whether
they’re in the o�ce or a personal device?
To answer that question, XSpectra assigns everyone
a ‘house of allegiance’ and to each house we grant
a tailored and automated means of. “House HR”
may be granted access to salary info, but “House
Sales” is kept in the dark. If a house member leaves
to work elsewhere, their access can be revoked with
ease.
House Human Resources
Ensure employees are paid and protected under labor laws.
Access to Paychex, modify user accounts, create users, and upload files.
House IT Helpdesk
Combat viruses and remedy infected users.
Modify security settings, view user accounts, reset user passwords, and dis-able user access.
XSpectra is a Security-as-a-Service (SaaS)
solution with its Identity and Access Management
system (IAM). This involves real-time 24/7
monitoring by expert security analysts and
unlimited incident support.
Spectra also o�ers a flexible on-demand
pricing, which means organizations only pay for
what they need. XSpectra can therefore be
tailor made to a company’s need depending
on their size.
Security is the preserve of massive corporations,

Table 5: Recommendations
The region requires the implementation of One Stop Border Posts (OSBPs). This will reduce the wait-ing time at borders for clearance and inspection of people and goods as people, vehicles and goods will only make a single stop while exiting and entering another country. The simplification of travel docu-ments and procedures combined with the use of ICT in border management will greatly improve the situ-
ation at border posts. UEMOA (WAEMU) successfully set up a customs union and common market in 2000. This eliminated tariffs on goods traded between its member states; abolished entry visas and harmonized customs clearance procedures, among all its member countries. UEMOA also improved transportation net-works and telecommunications connectivity across the West African region.9

3.2 Corruption
Bribery and extortion have marred the credibility of border management agencies as smugglers, human traffickers even terrorists need no legal documen-tation but money to bribe their way through border checkpoints.10 Corrupt border officials have made it a tendency to take bribes from willing traders and impose offences/fines on those unwilling to pay the bribes. It is a nightmare for anyone intending to travel
the world, as it is now customary that one carries ex-tra money to bribe his or her way through such bor-ders. Poorly paid officials are in the habit of extort-ing bribes from traders and tourists.11 The severity of corruption at the borders has achieved a new high as border guards have made it a common practice to ex-pect bribes from people intending to export or import illegal goods.
regulate and ensure there is efficient movement of goods through the West African region by doing away with custom duties, creating a common tariff through which member states use and ensuring that its member states contribute jointly towards the improvement of infrastructure in the region. The Common External Tar-iff (CET) came into operation in January 2015, requir-ing countries to adjust their customs to accommodate the harmonized tariffs.
Lack of sufficient infrastructure has resulted into extra costs on the part of traders and cargo transporters. For each day of delay at customs processing, traders incur consignment costs ranging from about €90 - €167 or higher depending on an agency’s discretion.8
The table below summarizes the effects of out-dated clearance procedures and equipment on the clearance process particularly customs in major economic com-munities.
The graph below gives an overview of the amount of bribes exchanged along selected corridors in West Africa, during the first quarter of 2011.

The Regional Conference on Anti-Corruption in West Africa is one such legal forum established to remedy the situation. Organized by UNODC and HALCIA, the common resolution call for ECOWAS governments to pull together and strengthen their legal framework on corruption.12
The 21st Road Governance Report is among the many
initiatives by WAEMU and ECOWAS to restore normal-cy in the region by restricting corruption and related vices to low levels.13 The World Customs Organization (WCO) is also encouraging capacity building of border officials especially customs by training them in ethics and transparency.14
3.3 Disease Spread/Control
Health fears arising from contagious diseases and outbreaks have majorly impacted on the management of borders across West Africa. Countries plagued by such health risks tend to impose strict regulations and restrictions and to increase the number of health inspection at the borders.15 Plaguing Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the fear of Ebola resulted to some of the West African nations either closing their bor-ders or considering the idea. Justified as they may be, trade practices among the ECOWAS member states
have suffered major setbacks due to the closing of borders, and the installation of safeguards slowing down border movement. Liberia in 2014 resorted to restricting the movement of people in and out of the country as a counter measure to contain the further spread of the virus.16 These restrictions supersede the need to carry on with cross-border trade as they serve to protect citizens from contracting diseases and pre-vent further spread.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
Violent conflict between Séléka and anti-Balaka militias and subsequent reprisals against foreigners prompted many Cameroonian and Chadian migrants to flee CAR in large numbers between 2013 and 2014. While some Cameroonian migrants took refuge in Christian churches in CAR before planning their eventual escape from the country, others found havens in the homes of friends or their embassies in CAR’s capital, Bangui. Both Cameroonian and Chadian migrants fled the crisis in haste, leaving behind assets such as cash, houses, cars, bank statements and other important documents. Up to 4,000 Cameroonian migrants were initially evacuated by air from Bangui to Douala through arrangements by their government. Others travelled by road, borrowing trucks filled with goods and even travelling in containers. Others escaped on foot through dense, patchy forests. Most Cameroonian migrants did not organise collectively, but rather individually through the assistance of relatives to whom they returned. Chadian migrants escaped the crisis narrowly because of assistance from IOM and the Chadian military. They hid their CAR nationality documents thereby claiming Chadian citizenship because of assumptions that returnees would receive substantial support from the state and international organisations. Nevertheless, due to waning support to Chadian returnees, some reverted to their CAR identity documents because of perceived benefits from refugee status in Chad. While Cameroonians benefited from familial ties in their country of origin upon return, Chadian returnees did not maintain relationships with relatives while abroad and could therefore not rely on these networks upon return.

TIMELINE
CONTEXT
No, we did not have time to prepare ourselves. I thought the crisis would not last above two months, but the crisis became serious and it was too late.(Migrant from Chad in CAR, 43 years old)
PRE-CRISIS during crisis
Early 20th century: Northern CAR perceived as being inhabitedby ‘foreigners’
2010: UN peacekeeping troops deployed after multiple coups and rebellions
2006–2008: Northern rebel groups form and demand equal share in state resources
2013: Northern-based Séléka militia oust embattled president Bozizé, who flees to Cameroon thereby inciting reprisals against Cameroonians in CAR

legal situation of migrants:
Cameroonian migrants in CAR exempt from visas for up to three months (part of CEMAC free movement of persons agreement); required to have residence card after 90 days Migrants in CAR of Chadian origin possess CAR passports and birth certificates Chadian returnees shift from returnee to refugee status because of presumed benefits
Cameroonian and Chadian authorities evacuated hundreds of thousands of their nationals by road or air during the height of the crisis in CAR. Upon return, the state provided Cameroonian returnees with medical care, psycho-social counselling, transpor-tation assistance and cash vouchers. In the case of Chad, returnees were initially held in transit sites before being transferred to more permanent dwellings in the south of the country. Moreover, the government of Chad established the National Commission to Welcome and Reintegrate Refugees and Returnees to coordinate assistance in conjunction with interna-tional agencies such as IOM.Although it is clear that the governments of Cameroon and Chad played a pivotal role in evacuating, repatriating and resettling their nationals during the CAR crisis, there is a perception by returnees and non-governmental organisations alike that the states have not adequately addressed long-term reintegration. Similar critiques have been lodged at UN agencies, which were perceived as being preoccupied with refugees and asylum seekers and less concerned about returnees. Besides national governments and international organisations, other actors have been tangentially involved in responding to the needs of returnees, including private sector actors in the Chadian capital, N’Djamena, who enabled the use of cash vouchers supplied by state and international organisations as well as local community leaders in the rural south who provided land to returnees through sale or rental arrangements. In the case of Cameroon, Muslim dignitaries donated food and clothing and provided shelter to hundreds of stranded returnees.
Creating income-generating activities is the appropriate solution. Returnees need to become autonomous and to affirm themselves.(Gilbert Ewemeh, Executive Director, Yes Cameroon, Cameroon)

Dialogue, Knowledge and Action
More than half of the global population is residing in urban areas, which are foreseen to continue growing to 66% by 2050, mainly due to inflows of internal and international migrants. Cities can benefit from these people’s potential by creating an enabling environment and taking migration into account in their local governance.
The overall aim of the project is to contribute to improved migration governance at local level in ten cities in Europe and in the Southern Mediterranean, with a specific focus on integration and inclusion, and migrants’ access to rights and services.
The project will facilitate mainstreaming migration into local planning through a three-fold approach. It will nurture dialogue, build an expert network, support knowledge gain and exchange, and engage in actions.
Project duration: 2015 – 2018
