| dc.description | Pesticides have helped control disease and increase crop production for food security. However poor management of pesticides has shown negative impacts human health and the environment, including death and disability among users. Of particular concern are Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) that are highly effective in the control of the insect vectors of malaria and sleeping sickness and locusts. FAO supported by GEF implemented a POPs project in Mozambique to safeguard and dispose existing stocks of obsolete pesticides, as well as working to reduce risk across the pesticide lifecycle at the policy level. The evaluation found that the project was successful in safeguarding POPs, pesticide waste and contaminated containers, and had to deal with a much larger quantity of contaminated soil and obsolete pesticides than initially planned. In the future, the evaluation recommends that the Project Steering Committee with the support of FAO should (i) continue the remediation of highly contaminated sites, (ii) establishment of a sustainable system for managing empty pesticide containers, and (ii) establishment of a national pesticide stock management system.
