PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Member states of the CILSS Justification of the SCP Goals of SCPMandate of the SCPComposition of the SCPProcedure Conclusions
WHAT IS CILSS?WHAT IS CILSS?An example in Africa
CILSS: Permanent Inter states Committe for DroughtControl in the Sahel(Burkina Faso,Cape verde,Chad,Gambia,GuineaBi M li M i i Ni S l)Bissau,Mali,Mauritania,Niger,Senegal)
An intergovernement organization to promote cooperationon food security and natural ressources management and on food security and natural ressources management and development
An organization for discussion where governments express An organization for discussion where governments express their points of view, share their experiences and search for common answers.http://www.insah.org/p // g/http://www.insah.org/protectiondesvegetaux/csp/index.html
Justification
Sub regional projects carried out against the enemies f i h S h l of crops in the Sahel: 1977 to 1990.
f f h d i id i h S h lfree movement of hazardous pesticides in the Sahel.
W k i th f R i t ti f ti idWeakness in the process of Registration of pesticides.
GOAL SPooling national expertise for a better evaluation of applications of registration of pesticides.Pooling financial resources for a better assessment of pesticides.Allow less harmful pesticides to circulate in the Sahelian environment.Minimize the uncontrolled movement of pesticides in States.Regulations on the registration of pesticides (1992).
SCP: Common regulation bodyThe common regulation ‐concerns the autorisation, placing on the market, use
d l f i i di d f l d and control of active ingredients and formulated products of pesticides in the member statesis applicable to the classification labelling packing ‐is applicable to the classification labelling, packing packing of pesticides formulation
Objective of common RegulationTo combine the experience and expertise of member states with respect to evaluation and registration of pesticides in order to ensure their rational and pesticides in order to ensure their rational and judicious use, as well as the protection of human health and the environment
HOW SCP WORKHarmonization of:‐ data requirements‐ test guidelines‐risk assessment‐registration procedures‐risk reduction
Requirements for registrationNot harmful to humans and not target wildlife under normal conditions of use.
Sufficiently effective against the target pest
No unacceptable impact on the environment
Availability of methods for determination of components impurities and residues of the pesticidecomponents, impurities and residues of the pesticide
ExperimentationDevelopment of experimental protocols
Biological efficacy tests;Tests to assess the toxicity of formulated products;Methods for analyzing the formulation;Methods for determining residuesMethods for determining residues.
Need referencing research institutionsNeed for strengthening of laboratoriesNeed for strengthening of laboratoriesNeed for human capacity building
Key tasksDossier evaluation of applications for registration of pesticides
Requirements for registration of a specialty trade (APV, equ e e ts o eg st at o o a spec a ty t ade ( ,Registration).

CHALLENGESWeakness of financial and material meansDifficulties to hold the two yearly statutary meetingsDifficulties to enhance the permanent secretariat workDiffi l i i h Difficulties to train the expertsFrequent replacement of the experts by their government government
ChallengesCNGP : working arm of SCP not fonctionning because of the lack of financial means:CNGP bl i l h SCP d i i CNGP not capable to implement the SCP decisions nationallyFew pesticides registrated for minor cropsFew pesticides registrated for minor cropsImportant use of no registred pesticides
Conclusion / PerspectivesThe passage from the APV to registration is a very important step
Remember and keep in mind that any pesticide is registered for a specific purposeregistered for a specific purpose
For a good decision for registrationFor a good decision for registrationGood Analyze of efficacy data;Good Analyze of toxicology ‐ecotoxicology data.y gy gy
Conclusion / PerspectivesFurther information

ConclusionsThe CSP is functional since 1994
Model is extended in Central Africa
The arrangements are underway for the extension in the member states of ECOWAS, and West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU)Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU)
