Resumen
Descripción
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security ( together with other Government ministries, are ultimately tasked with addressing concerns over hunger, nutrition and rural livelihoods, while also holding responsibility for promoting economic diversification through the creation of an innovative and competitive agriculture sector In many cases, however, detailed subsector policies have not yet been developed Prior to the project, this was indeed the case for pesticide management The absence of a pesticide regulatory framework, which would govern the implementation of and reinforce relevant laws to ensure that pesticide users and dealers act in compliance with national policy, is a major drawback for agricultural development in South Sudan Moreover, given the increased reliance on pesticides that is expected to come with agricultural expansion and the emergence of large scale commercial farming, pesticide regulation has larger implications for human and animal health, as well as environmental sustainability This project was therefore designed to support South Sudan in the development of a national regulatory framework for pesticide management.
