and sociological issues (“mainstreaming”) 9 . Consequently, proposals for chemical<br />

safety projects must be logically connected to the national strategies for<br />

sustainable development of the recipient country, referring to Agenda 21, the<br />

WSSD Plan of Action, the Millennium Development Goals, and other relevant<br />

international instruments and declarations.<br />

The value-added of chemicals management project components to the countries<br />

development process should be clearly described. The activities addressing<br />

chemical safety can then be mainstreamed more readily with ongoing<br />

development assistance programmes and projects. Most chemical-related<br />

projects would then be addressed under the development assistance priorities,<br />

and would not have to be channelled to donors separately.<br />

If a programme or project is already initiated in a related sector, the chemical<br />

safety issues should be integrated in this programme/project rather than being<br />

developed and implemented separately. For example, one may take examples<br />

of the <strong>Tanzania</strong> Social Action Fund (TASAF) or Malaria Eradication project, in<br />

principle such programmes should have a built it components of Sound<br />

management of Chemicals. A systematic evaluation of development assistance<br />

programmes and projects will help to identify elements with chemicals<br />

management components and possible connections to chemical safety issues to<br />

be included in a package.<br />

Indicators should be developed that both provide information on the effects of<br />

chemical safety interventions linked to sustainable development goals, and allow<br />

effect monitoring, i.e. tracking and reporting on the progress towards achieving<br />

results on the ground and ultimately the sustainable development goals.<br />

Progress in capacity building for chemical safety should be assessed using<br />

measurable indicators. Documentation of the achievements and progress as<br />

measured by indicators, impact monitoring and review of implementation should<br />

be a prerequisite for identifying priorities for further activities and launching new<br />

programmes.<br />

6.0 CHALLENGES TO REDUCE EXTREME POVERTY<br />

It is worth mentioning here that reducing extreme poverty especially for the rural<br />

poor is not an easy task. Sometime interventions may aggravate the problem.<br />

There case examples where pesticides were supplied and instead of enhancing<br />
