coordination. Most important some Conventions have provisions for financial and
technical assistance while others do not have. Which means a holistic, multistakeholder
approach and integration of activities of chemical Conventions make
take advantage of each other. Looking at the objectives and obligations of the
Convention, it is easy to relate the goals of NSGRP, Vision 2025 and MDGs to
the Chemicals Conventions. Through mainstreaming of implementation of
chemical conventions in these activities may enhance the implementation of the
same. Therefore, the implementation of Chemical Conventions need to be
internalised into national development priorities for sustainable development.
9.0 CONCLUSION
• Chemicals conventions and national development initiatives such as
NSGRP, have many commonalities and opportunities for synergies in both
their implementation and related capacity building activities.
• Coordinated and integrated implementation provides crucial elements for
sustainable sound management of pesticides use and chemicals in
general.
• It is therefore important to foster synergy of these Chemical Conventions
at national level by internalising them in national development initiatives
and utilizing the available opportunities provided by each Convention.
• Cooperation and collaboration in related programmes and projects will
enable Tanzania develop a strong information base for informed decision
making and foster complementarities in national actions and hence
maximize use of available meagre resources.
10. RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to internalise and mainstream implementation of chemicals Convention
into national priorities for poverty reduction and sustainable development, there is
a need for capacity building with the following key elements:
• Ownership involving stakeholders from the beginning;
• Integration and taking full account of ongoing actions;
• Cross-sectoral harmonization between donors and recipients;
• Increased use of modern technology and communication; and
• Development of new forms of cooperation such as decentralized cooperation
among local authorities.
• Information-sharing.
Furthermore it is recommended that:
• Proposals for chemical safety projects must be logically connected to the
national strategies for sustainable development of the our country, referring to
Agenda 21, the WSSD Plan of Action, the Millennium Development Goals,
and other relevant international instruments and declarations.
