Implementation of guidance on dossier evaluation for the registration of pest control products in Kenya

Abstract

This document describes suggestions for further steps that can be taken with regard to the evaluation of pest control products in Kenya. The document should be read together with the document describing proposed guidance on dossier evaluation for the registration of pest control products in Kenya and as such both contribute to a future complete pesticide evaluation manual for Kenya. Both documents were developed within the Pesticide management initiative East African Region: Kenya (PEAR-Kenya) project. The project ran in the period 2016-2019 and was sponsored and supported by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Nairobi. This document is intended to feed into discussions on further development of a complete pesticide evaluation manual for Kenya using the guidance mentioned as a starting point. Reflections on some of the methods proposed and also information on what is needed to implement the guidance developed in the project are provided. Additionally, suggestions for developing a framework for the risk assessment of aquatic organisms are given.
