Severely hazardous pesticide formulations continue to pose problems under the conditions of use in many countries. The overall objective of the activities is to establish appropriate links between designated national authorities and community health monitoring activities and to develop a process for the preparation and submission of proposals for severely hazardous pesticide formulations under Article 6 of the Convention.
With a view to ensuring the sustainability and expansion of the programme, cooperation with other partners such as the World Health Organization, FAO, donors, regional organizations and non-governmental organizations with field programmes on monitoring and reporting pesticide incidents will be strengthened.
