Synopsis (short abstract) This fact-sheet is developed to inform affected and vulnerable communities who live nearby a mini-landfill in Tajikistan about how they can minimize the negative impacts of mini-landfills. Mini-landfills contain obsolete pesticides inherited from Former Soviet Union. These hazardous chemicals are often stored in deteriorated containers or buried in those mini-landfills, where leakages contaminate the soil and water and pose a high risk for human health and the environment.

    Ин варақаи мазкур барои огоҳ намудани ҷамоатҳои осебдида ва ё осебпазири Тоҷикистон, ки дар наздикии партовгоҳҳои хурди заҳрхимикатҳо зиндагӣ мекунанд ва дар бораи он, ки чӣ тавр онҳо метавонанд таъсири манфии партовгоҳҳои хурдро то ҳадди ақал кам намоянд, пешбинӣ шудааст. Партовгоҳҳои хурд дорои заҳрхимикатҳои кӯҳнашуда мебошанд, ки аз собиқ Иттиҳоди Шӯравии ба мерос боқи мондаанд. Ин моддаҳои кимиёвии хатарнок аксар вақт дар зарфҳои вайроншуда нигоҳ дошта мешаванд ва ё дар ин партовгоҳҳои хурд гӯр када шудаанд, ки дар ҳолати ихроҷи онҳо хоку обро олуда намуда, ба саломатии инсон ва муҳити зист хавфи зиёд дорад.

    Evaluation report
    Terminal evaluation of the project "Disposal of obsolete pesticides including persistent organic pesticides, promotion of alternatives and strengthening pesticides management in the Caribbean"

    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.
