Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEvaluation reportDisposal of persistent organic pollutants and obsolete pesticides and strengthening sound pesticide management in Cameroon
Evaluation highlights
2025Also available in:
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. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportMid-term evaluation of ''Disposal of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Obsolete Pesticides and Strengthening Life-cycle Management of Pesticides in Benin”
GCP/BEN/056/GFF GEF ID: 4756
2019Also available in:
No results found.Inadequate agricultural policies and poorly enforced regulations lead to the accumulation of unused pesticides. In Benin, stockpiles of obsolete pesticides have become a great concern, posing a threat not only to human health and environment, but also to the sustainable development of the region. Farmers also often look for cheaper pesticides and use different chemicals than those officially recommended. FAO implemented the project ‘Disposal of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and obsolete pesticides and strengthening life-cycle management of pesticides in Benin’ from June 2015 to May 2019 with the aim to develop capacity at the community and institutional levels to manage current and future stocks. The mid-term evaluation reports the project achievements, such as identifying four alternatives to chemical pesticides and developing national capacities of trained individuals, as well as the areas for improvement. Also addressed are the factors contributing to the continuity of activities after the end of the project. Project code: GCP/BEN/056/GFF GEF ID: 4756 -
Book (series)Evaluation reportMid-term evaluation of “Disposal of obsolete pesticides including persistent organic pollutants, promotion of alternatives and strengthening pesticides management in the Caribbean”
GCP/SLC/204/GFF GEF ID: 5407
2019Also available in:
No results found.Declines in the sugarcane and banana industries of the Caribbean have resulted in an accumulation of disused pesticides. The adverse effect of agrochemicals, particularly pesticides, on human health and the environment is a global concern. The project ''Disposal of obsolete pesticides including persistent organic pollutants (POPs), promotion of alternatives and strengthening pesticides management in the Caribbean'' was implemented by FAO to promote the sound management of pesticides throughout their life-cycle in the Caribbean region, and reduce the risks they pose. The mid-term evaluation for this project, covering project design and implementation from November 2015 to April 2019, found that the most visible project achievement was the environmentally sound disposal of 319 tonnes of obsolete pesticides stocks, including POPs, from the 11 project beneficiary countries. Nonetheless, delays have been observed in all other activities, putting the project’s objectives at risk. Project code: GCP/SLC/204/GFF GEF ID: 5407

Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of FAO’s contribution to the Republic of Indonesia 2016–2020 2021
Also available in:
No results found.There are numerous risks to the sustainability and stability of Indonesia’s farming system, food production system, supply chains, and ecosystems. The evaluation aims to answer two essential questions: whether FAO is doing what is needed and whether it is making a difference.This evaluation recommends that FAO support the green and blue (land and sea) preparedness and adaptation plans, as well as early warning systems. The evaluation further recommends that FAO ramp up its support for a national decision support system that adopts a food systems approach to provide policymakers with the best analytical evidence and data available to guide new public policies and regulations.Many of the conclusions and recommendations call for policy and regulatory reform. The evaluation recommends that FAO work with Indonesia to establish innovative data management systems, new analysis methods, and analytical tools on agriculture including fisheries and forestry. -

Book (series)Emergency responseEvaluation of the project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" - Phase I
OSRO/BKF/801/SWE
2022Also available in:
The project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" is financed by the Swedish International Development Agency. FAO implemented the project in partnership with the Government of Burkina Faso through the Ministry for Agriculture, Hydro-agricultural Development and Mechanisation. The project seeks to improve vulnerable populations’ access to food and to means of food production. This first phase of the evaluation focused on suggesting improvements to the project over the rest of its implementation period, and more particularly improvements as pertaining to relevance, efficiency and efficacy of the project. The implementation of these recommendations should allow the project and more generally FAO, the FAO Office in Burkina Faso and the Government, to close a project that has achieved its objectives
