This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caribbean nations, in particular SIDS, have been traditionally vulnerable to the entry of potentially harmful, unregistered and unregulated pesticides. In many of these countries, the legislation and regulations for managing pesticides are fragmented and at various stages of development. Under the overall objective to promote sound management of pesticides in the Caribbean, the project kick-started various activities covering pesticide life-cycle management in the region, drafted a regional model pesticide legislation and facilitated different vital elements. It specifically contributed to the collection and shipment of obsolete pesticides (319 tonnes) from all 11 project countries and polychlorinated biphenyls (54 tonnes) from four countries. However, it has not been able to successfully replicate, scale up nationally and build capacities with government stakeholders evenly across all countries. Further follow-up and support are required to ensure sustainability and impact in the region and the project countries and thus the engagement of the private sector and civil society organizations will be critical.

Book excerpt: This report presents the final evaluation results of the project “Disposal of persistent organic pollutants and obsolete pesticides and implementation of sound pesticides management in Benin” (GCP/BEN/056/GFF), implemented by FAO and the Government of Benin from March 2015 to September 2021. The project is consistent with the country and its partners’ priorities. The project was able to implement the farmer field school approach, integrated production and pest management (IPPM) and relevant partnerships. Nevertheless, gaps in pesticide life cycle management were identified and corrective measures proposed. Regulatory framework has been strengthened as well as national capacities in decontaminating polluted sites, securing obsolete pesticides and persistant organic pollutants, analysing polluted soil samples, recycling and managing empty pesticide containers, and testing and adopting IPPM-based alternative techniques and systems.
