USAID Asia & Near East Bureau
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Pesticides Training
Amman, Jordan, September 25-29, 2005
In September of 2005, USAID staff, contractors, and local experts delivered training in pest and pesticide management to 28 individuals in Jordan, Amman. The majority of participants were Jordanese, but USAID staff from Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Cambodia also participated.
USAID activities throughout the Asia Near East region focus on improving agricultural production, urban and greenhouse horticulture, and managing insect-borne human diseases. All of these types of activities require the input of pesticides to control pests. Training is highly recommended for all USAID project implementers who oversee policy and activities on pest control and pesticides so that they are used judiciously and safely. This course covered integrated pest management, integrated management of vectors of human and animal diseases, pesticide hazards, safety measures, toxicology, environmental fate for pesticides, the regulation and disposal of pesticides and Pesticide Evaluation Reports and Safer Use Action Plans (PERSUAPs).
