After the presentation it was asked that what are the tools for assessing the<br />

ecotoxicological risks and the reaction was that risk assessment itself is a tool.<br />

There will be training on how to apply the tools to come out with the result.<br />

3.4.6 Pesticides and Poverty: Case Studies<br />

Mr. Yahya Msangi- TPAWU and Mr. S. Mng’anya-AGENDA<br />

The presentation gave explanation on case studies that will be undertaken as<br />

part of the project activities. The objectives of the case studies are to<br />

demonstrate the need for action under international chemical conventions<br />

(Stockholm, Rotterdam, Basel, Bamako, ILO) and national programmes (NIP and<br />

ASP); to identify pesticide problems including poisoning and environmental<br />

impact; to determine type and extent of interventions required; how to influence<br />

policy changes; plan for awareness raising; and advocacy and lobbying.<br />

The criteria for selecting case studies are that they should be relevant to<br />

chemical conventions and national programmes i.e. ASP, NIP; problem solving<br />

specifically by identifying the pesticides of concern, health and environmental<br />

impacts; make use of PIC reporting form in case of poisoning; allow for<br />

completion within short period of time with available (limited) resources; and must<br />

focus on the overall concept of this project i.e. pesticides and poverty, health and<br />

safety etc. The case studies should address issues of poisoning incidences;<br />

Integrated Pest/ Vector Management (IPM/IVM); Organic farming & Indigenous<br />

knowledge; Obsolete stocks of pesticides; Labelling and empty containers<br />

management; Spray equipment and PPE; Vulnerable groups – women, children;<br />

and Industry advertisement.<br />

Implementation of the case studies will be done by contracting local NGOs,<br />

which have interest on pesticides, and the terms of reference will be developed<br />

by the secretariat. Furthermore, the case studies will be conducted in sectoral<br />

form such as communities, farmers, workers, and households.<br />

During panel discussion after the presentations of papers of this theme, the<br />

following were asked from presentations, it seems this project will be carried out<br />

with NGOs and CBOs, what are the roles of other stakeholders and the reaction<br />

was that there are specific activities to be carried by NGOs and CBOs but there<br />

are some other activities for other stakeholders. It was then commended that this<br />

project is aimed to strengthen NGOs before launch of the ASP therefore it is<br />

funded from PAN UK separately from the ASP project itself. Government usually<br />

involves NGOs and CSOs in all donor-funded projects.<br />
