Annotation	A network is designed, in order to study long-term trends of the african and the intercontinental background of persistent organic pollutants resulting from long-range transport of contaminants from European, South Asian, and other potential source regions. The objective criteria for station selection were based on the sampling data from 2008 and climatological data from period 1961–2007. Six to nine stations would cover satisfyingly large and densely populated regions of North-eastern, West and East Africa and its neighbouring seas, while few densely populated areas, e.g. Southern Cameroon or parts of the Abessinian plateau would not be covered. The potential of the network is not hampered by on-going long-term changes of the advection to the selected stations, as these do hardly affect the coverage of target areas.
