Sampson is an experienced researcher and implementer of international cooperation projects, particularly relating to end-of-life management of electrical and electronic appliances. His focus on e-waste management issues in Ghana expands several years of research and advocacy both locally and internationally. He was involved in discussions on Act 917 from its draft stages in 2011 until its milestone passage in 2016 and followed keenly the implementation including the passage of the accompanying legislative instrument (LI2250). Through his work as National Project Coordinator of the SRI programme, he was highly involved in the training of formal and informal operators in e-waste and scrap business in Ghana. Thus, he has very good working relationships with and a thorough knowledge about the majority of e-waste recyclers in Ghana. He has done extensive field research on e-waste management in different countries and gained sound working knowledge of e-waste management systems in countries such as Switzerland, UK, India, Germany, Belgium, China, South Korea, Egypt, Columbia and Peru. Due to this working experience with SRI and E-waste Academy, he has developed a wide network of e-waste experts across the globe. Moreover, he is co-author not only of the e-waste baseline report on Ghana, which has become the basis for the development of Ghanaian international cooperation projects, but also of the Ghana E-waste Technical Guidelines and other important reports to MESTI. He has also supported numerous e-waste processing companies with the objective of operating in a sound manner, including those operating in the ULAB sector. He has sound working knowledge of OECD evaluation procedures for development projects
