Africa Stockpiles Programme
Several thousand tonnes of obsolete pesticides have accumulated throughout the African continent over the last four decades. These dangerous chemicals threaten the environment and surrounding communities -- often the poorest and most vulnerable -- through the contamination of food, water, soil, and air.
The objective of the Africa Stockpiles Programme is to clean up and safely dispose of all obsolete pesticide stocks from Africa and establish preventive measures to avoid future accumulation. Bringing together the skills, expertise, and resources of a diverse group of stakeholders, the Africa Stockpiles Program is a strategic partnership that offers a rapid, sustainable solution to this urgent problem.
