The Plan

Nationally representative surveys of blood lead levels have been conducted in at least four countries that currently lack that data.

Sources comprising the majority of expected lead exposure have been identified in at least five countries where they are not currently known.

Marketplace surveys assessing the prevalence of lead in paint have been run in at least 25 countries.

The prevalence of lead in spices has been assessed in at least 90% of countries in which it is suspected to be a major source of exposure.

At least 10 countries have largely eliminated lead in paint (i.e. at least 80% of paint by market volume has been confirmed lead-free in a survey).

The prevalence of lead in spices has been reduced to zero in at least half of the countries in which it has been identified as a major source of exposure.

At least three successful mitigation projects have been completed, leading to a measurable reduction in the prevalence of lead by at least 50% in an expected major source other than lead and paint (e.g. cookware, ceramics, cosmetics).

Funding commitments (excluding contributors to LEAF) have increased from ~$5M / year to at least $50M / year by 2027.

At least three bilateral or multilateral aid agencies have dedicated line items related to lead exposure.
