6.2 Suggested Interventions to Strengthen Linkage of the Stockholm<br />

Convention to Poverty Reduction<br />

a) Policy Interventions<br />

• Strengthen decentralization process that seeks to increase local<br />

environmental management through a more consultative and<br />

participatory framework;<br />

• Improve poverty-environment monitoring and assessment for informed<br />

decision making; and<br />

• Provide enabling environment and incentives for encouraging private<br />

sector involvement in environmental management including research and<br />

promotion of alternatives to POPs chemicals, investment in physical<br />

infrastructure (e.g. chemical storage and disposal facilities), research and<br />

monitoring of POPs releases etc.<br />

b) Capacity building Interventions<br />

• Improve infrastructure for research, training and monitoring of POPs<br />

releases;<br />

• Establish database on POPs to facilitate dissemination of relevant<br />

information and public awareness;<br />

• Establish training program to environmental, public health and safety<br />

officers on risk assessment and risk management of POPs chemicals and<br />

wastes; and<br />

• Develop and disseminate guidelines on pesticides retail business and<br />

use of alternatives to POPs Pesticides.<br />

c) Mainstreaming Stockholm Convention Obligations into National<br />

Development Policies, Strategies and Planning<br />

A fundamental shift is needed to build on poor people’s priorities and capabilities<br />

that effectively engage all stakeholders in addressing the underlying policy and<br />

institutional drivers of environmental degradation. Meeting this challenge requires<br />

integrating the environmental concerns of poor and vulnerable groups into<br />

development frameworks and strategies (poverty reduction strategies,<br />

macroeconomic and sectoral policies and the budget process) at national and<br />

local levels. The integration will make it possible to forge a broad-based and<br />

more coordinated response to poverty-environment challenges, to achieve<br />

synergies between diverse interventions across many sectors and ensure<br />

resources are being allocated and effectively targeted.<br />
