dc.description.abstractThe East African Community (EAC), with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), initiated the process of harmonising EAC pesticide management guidelines in September 2016. The main focus was to harmonise pesticide regulation in the region and to reduce the risks associated with their use, improve trade, and safeguard crops, the environment, human and animal health. The process culminated in the approval of the guidelines on effi¬cacy trials, residue trials and data requirements by the Council of Ministers, in January 2019. Guidelines for evaluating and reporting the e¬fficacy of pest control products for plants were among those prioritised. According to provisions of the guidelines, Partner States shall ensure that all new pest control products for plants or new uses of existing products are subjected to thorough effi¬cacy evaluation before they are authorised for use. This document summarises the procedures for conducting effi¬cacy trials on pesticides. They are a product of intense and collaborative processes that entailed series of reviews, workshops, consultations and validations. They shall be applied to products used in the control of harmful organisms (insects, pathogens, weeds etc.) on plants, plant products, products applied to soil and regulated articles. The procedures shall also be applied to plant growth regulators.
