Background The consultation for Portuguese-speaking African countries (Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea- Bissau, Mozambique, São Tomé and Principe) aimed at initiating a dialogue across Parties and (Non Parties- Angola) with similar environmental and social concerns in the framework of Rotterdam Convention and the other two Chemicals Conventions, Basel and Stockholm. The consultation aimed at facilitating the identification of potential elements of a national strategy for RC implementation and pesticides management, based on the needs and gaps discussed during the consultation with the key stakeholders. The integrated approach of Rotterdam Convention aims at focusing more and more on the work with rural communities under article 6. This article assists countries in detecting problems encountered at level of human health and the environment with specific formulations and raise awareness at global level. It is a key piece of information sharing for Parties that are experimenting similar problems with similar conditions of use of a certain formulated chemical. The work with the rural communities aims at connecting normative work with the field level and at tackling social and environmental impact caused by pesticides use and by the presence of other hazardous chemicals. Rotterdam Convention Informed Promoting Collect alternatives to Decision disaggregated pesticides use making data process Basel, Stockholm and Rotterdam Conventions Overall, involved countries are members of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa - CPLP), an important multilateral forum for deepening mutual friendship and cooperation on different topics. In particular, CPLP has approved in 2012 a Regional Strategy for Food and Nutrition Security (ESAN-CPLP), with Priority 1 “Strengthen governance of food security and nutrition”, Priority 2 “Promote access and utilization of food to improve the livelihoods of the most vulnerable groups” and Priority 3 “Increase availability of food based on small producers”. Therefore this consultation also aimed to strengthen fruitful collaboration within this framework. Moreover, since some countries are Small Island Developing States (SIDS) the workshop was also aligned with the recommendations expressed during the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and the strong 3|Page
commitment towards SIDS shown by FAO over the last months in relation of combating climate change and foster local actions for mitigation and adaptation. Sustainable Development Goals SDG Strategic Objectives, ESAN-CPLP 9, 12,13, 15 SO2 and SO3 Regional Strategy Country Programming Framework for Food and Post-2015 Nutrition Security UN Angola ,Cape Verde, Guinea- Bissau, Mozambique, São Tomé Developme SIDS-Small Island and Principe Developing States nt agenda Participants The Consultation for Portuguese-speaking African Parties under the Rotterdam Convention on the social and environmental impact of pesticide use was attended by 17 participants from the five Lusophone countries, including representatives from Ministries of Agriculture, Environment, Health and NGOs in order to build the basis for a technical network and raise awareness on the social and environmental aspects of pesticide exposure and deal with the topic in a holistic manner to have more harmonized technical assistance activities. Moreover, six resource persons and facilitators attended the meeting: Elisabetta Tagliati, Inma Roda Martin and Nadia Correale from the Rotterdam Convention Secretariat in FAO, Ivy Saunyama from the FAO SFS Sub-Regional Office for Southern Africa, Sheila Willis from Pesticide Action Network (PAN-UK), and Mirian de Oliveira from the Ministry of the Environment of Brazil.

Objectives of the meeting The workshop objectives were: Reinforce Rotterdam Convention and its implementation (art 5, art 10, art 12, art 6) Build a Lusophone network at sub-regional level Community based approach for collecting disaggregated data on social and environmental impact of the use of pesticides (art. 6) Develop national action plans and collect requests for technical assistance on social and environmental impact of pesticide use and recommendations for Secretariat Introducing possibilities to link normative work to field level work (non-chemical alternatives to pesticides, FFS- IPM, agro-ecological approach, organic agriculture) Summary of the meeting In the opening session at the CPLP Headquarters, Elisabetta Tagliati of the Secretariat of the Rotterdam Convention welcomed all the participants and thanked them for their attendance to the consultation for African Lusophone countries. After that, all the participants and the resource persons introduced themselves (country of provenience, institution and role) in order to facilitate the discussion of the four days and get to know each other. The workshop objectives, approach and structure have been presented by Nadia Correale with the scope to give the idea to the participants on why we were gathered in Lisbon and how we would have worked during the four days. Elisabetta Tagliati framed the work, presenting the relevance of social and environmental sustainability for pesticide risk reduction and introducing the relation of working with chemicals and the SDG agenda. Linked to this, a video titled Detox Planet about chemicals, POPS and the consequences on human health and the environment was shown during the workshop. The work in synergy of the three Conventions Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm was introduced by Elisabetta Tagliati that, after an introduction on the role of the Rotterdam Convention in food security and sustainable agriculture, gave the floor to Mr. Manuel Lapão, Cooperation Director of CPLP and in charge of the Regional Strategy for Food and Nutrition Security (ESAN-CPLP) who gave a presentation on the ESAN-CPLP and its linkages with the social and environmental impact of pesticide use and sustainable agriculture. The afternoon session was dedicated to the Lusophone countries: one representative for each Lusophone African country made a presentation on the national situation regarding pesticide management regulatory framework; status of implementation of Rotterdam Convention; data collection related to pesticide use and experiences in non-chemical alternatives to pesticides use (FFS, IPM, biopesticides etc): 6|Page

Summary of the key actions identified by the countries ANGOLA In relation to the Rotterdam Convention implementation, Angola identified as priorities actions the ratification of the Rotterdam Convention; the need of adequate legislation and required assistance in risk assessment; As for the alternatives to the use of pesticides, the country focused the attention on promoting Integrated Pest Management and Farmer Field School projects; in training extension workers in the field of use of alternative and raising awareness of managers and users to reduce pesticide use CAPE VERDE In the legislative framework, Cape Verde put the emphasis on improving the national legislation based on evidence collected at national level, , on promoting the reduction of Rotterdam Convention/POPs chemicals and on improving Customs and monitoring of entry of chemicals. Other key actions identified by Cape Verde put emphasis on collecting data and mapping the impact of pesticides at social, environmental and health level with the involvement of the National Institute of Statistics, Ministry of Health, Environment Directorate and FAO as well as the promotion of alternatives to the use of pesticides. GUINEA- BISSAU Guinea Bissau key actions focus on drafting national legislation on chemicals set out in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention and on RC implementation strategy at national level for avoiding risks from the use of pesticides and an impact on health. Also, emphasis is placed on establishing rapid mechanisms for detecting pesticide poisoning cases, through an effective capacity building of health personnel and creation of ad hoc structure with the involvement of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, other ministries and the support of FAO. A specific reference is made to the collection of information on alternatives to chemicals use. MOZAMBIQUE Mozambique identified as priority actions the collaboration with neighbours countries for strategy on pesticides transit/trade in the region (Mozambique is the only country that has published the list of banned pesticides). Also, it has been stressed the need to remove DDT from informal market. As for the alternatives to the use of pesticides, special attention is placed on providing a list of bio pesticides used for pest management and FFS experiences. 10 | P a g e
SÃO TOMÉ AND PRINCIPE São Tomé and Principe put special attention on the need of drafting national legislation on the management of chemicals that can regulate the import and export of pesticides in the country as well as the creation of a database for pesticide management. Also, the preparation of a national plan for rapid response to environmental emergencies in the country that can potentially cause accidents with hazardous chemicals. The collection of data of national situation was suggested in order to base decisions on evidence. As for the alternatives to the use of pesticides, focus on strengthening the capabilities of CIAT (Center for Agronomic and Technological Investigation) and CATAP (Agro- Pastoral Advanced Training Centre) as well as capacity building programs on non- chemical alternatives. 11 | P a g e
