BookletEvaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Strengthening the Environmentally Sound Management of Pesticides, Including Persistent Organic Pollutants”
Project code: GCP/URU/031/GFF, GEF ID 5144
2025Also available in:
The project, which began in January 2016 and was extended until December 2023, aimed to eliminate stocks of obsolete pesticides, including persistent organic pollutants and their packaging, and to strengthen the management of the life cycle of pesticides in Uruguay. The results of the evaluation indicate that the project initiated a priority process to combine productive, environmental and health approaches in relation to strengthening pesticide management. Progress has been made towards reducing the risk to human health and the environment thanks to advances in the implementation of the Obsolete Stock Management Plan. In addition, it was found that the project has managed to strengthen the management of empty containers, identify effective strategies for integrated pest management and alternatives to hazardous pesticides, and significantly strengthen capacities for pesticide monitoring. The recommendations focus on compliance with the work plan and monitoring of the elimination proposal, and on updating and strengthening the regulatory framework.
