Technical Assistance for Sound Management of Hazardous Chemicals in Uzbekistan

About this project

<p>Technical Assistance for Sound Management of Hazardous Chemicals in Uzbekistan, will help to understand the size of the problem in terms of both legacy wastes (volumes of obsolete pesticides and other materials like contaminated soils) and annual arising to be managed in Uzbekistan. Particularly, focus will be given on enhancing effectiveness of mechanisms and tools for the management of hazardous chemicals, wastes and reduction of use of dangerous pesticides in agriculture, including agriculture practises and awareness for reducing the use of pesticides. Results of activities in different levels should lead to Uzbekistan becoming a State Party to all four waste conventions (Basel, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Minamata), an improved institutional capacity for sound chemicals management, better data on hazardous wastes allowing development of a national waste management strategy and permitted hazardous waste treatment facilities. The Action will also aim to scale up sustainable practices in the agricultural sector leading to reduced risks to farmers and consumers from the use of pesticides and to food production relying on less toxic pesticides, and increased institutional and public awareness of the risks from the uninformed use of hazardous chemicals</p>
