Synopsis (short abstract) This Project forms part of an EU Action with two major areas of intervention aimed at a single objective of post-COVID economic recovery and transition to a sustainable, socially just, resilient and climate neutral economy in Uzbekistan. The Project will contribute, under the overall EU Action, to supporting the country to decouple economic growth from climate change and environmental degradation through increasing capacities, tools and coordination mechanisms, while addressing key elements towards improved chemical and chemical waste management in Uzbekistan.

    Mid-term evaluation of the project “Disposal of persistent organic pollutants and obsolete pesticides and strengthening sound pesticide management in Cameroon”

    Every year, large quantities of pesticides are used in Cameroon for agricultural production. However, without proper management of pesticides and associated waste, accumulation of stocks of obsolete pesticides has led to contamination of sites. In this context, the project ‘Disposal of POPs and Obsolete Pesticides and Strengthening Sound Pesticide Management in Cameroon’ was launched to address the problems of stocking, and to develop alternatives to the use of chemical pesticides. Project activities were found to be well defined and appropriate, aligning with the country’s priorities and needs. The evaluation, however, also notes that there are substantial delays in the implementation of activities due to slow decision-making and lack of regular monitoring. Therefore it recommends the urgent need for developing an implementation strategy for the remaining activities. In addition, meetings should be held in a more timely manner to enable members to monitor and accelerate the implementation of activities.

    Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) (USD 1.7 million) and co-financing partners (USD 9.3 million expected) and implemented by FAO and the Government of Cameroon, the project aimed to reduce releases of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from obsolete pesticide stocks (OPs) and contaminated sites and build capacity for sound pesticide management. Four results were expected: (R1) 100 tonnes of POPs and OPs eliminated and 2 contaminated sites restored; (R2) Risks associated with empty pesticide containers are reduced; (R3) The regulatory framework and institutional capacities for pesticide management are strengthened (R3) Alternatives based on integrated pest management are successfully promoted and the use of chemical pesticides and highly hazardous pesticides is reduced.
