Asia is the largest and most populous continent, with 4.5 billion people, constituting roughly 60% of the world's population. Asia hosts a great variety in terms of ethnic groups, cultures, ecosystems, economics and government structures across its sub-regions. Nevertheless, many countries have one thing in common, in that their economies and livelihoods depend heavily on the agricultural sector.In the Asia-Pacific region, around 1 billion people (25,7 per cent) are involved in agriculture. Family farmers produce 80 per cent of the total food needed to ensure food security in the Asia- Pacific region. (Worldwide, farms of less than 1 hectare account for 72 per cent of all farms, but make up 8 per cent of all agricultural land.) In February 2019, the organisation submitted a first version of the project proposal "Strengthen Communities Capacity and Build Support and Collaboration to Phase Out Pesticides and Promote Agroecology for a Toxic-Free Asia" to the Embassy. With the proposal, PANAP aims to take a regional approach to work on these issues. The proposal is estimated to approximately a sum of 17.5 MSEK for a period of 4 years, including an inception and implementation phase.The project aims to reduce the harm caused by highly hazardous pesticides by improving the health and income of farmers, women, youth, agricultural workers and indigenous peoples’ as well as protecting the environment through agroecology. The Project has developed Three interlinked objective to achieve the overall goal with the Project. Immediate objective 1: Strengthened awareness of small-scale farmers, women, men, girls and boys, indigenous peoples and agricultural workers on the health and environmental impacts of pesticides; and increased capacity to take action on pesticide reduction and implement alternatives to pesticide use. Outcome 1.1: Increased capacity among communities to carry out participatory research and monitoring through CPAM, providing important evidence base of the impacts of pesticides.Outcome 1.2: Strengthened women's and men´s capacity and knowledge on impact of pesticides on ecosystems; and health and awareness raised of the benefits of agroecology Immediate objective 2: Reduced use of pesticides and enhanced biodiversity, health benefits and economic returns through agroecology initiatives Outcome 2.1: Awareness created of benefits of agroecology and capacity built among men and women farmers to practice agroecology Immediate objective 3: Pesticide policies at local, national, regional and global levels support the calls and demands of women and men small holder farmers and workers for progressive bans of highly hazardous pesticides and the promotion of agroecology Outcome 3.1: Provided relevant scientific evidence and input to decision-makers at local, national and regional levels to reduce and ban the use of highly hazardous pesticides as well as misuse of pesticides. Outcome 3.2: A regional level platform for CSOs, NGOs, regional networks and scientists to exchange knowledge and advocate for agroecology and pesticide reduction and linking up to current regional platforms. The project will take a bottom-up approach; firstly, by engaging communities through participatory research focusing on the management and use of pesticides and its impacts on health and ecosystems. Secondly, by enhancing communities' knowledge and awareness of the impact of pesticides, creating motivation to reduce the use of pesticides and move away from pesticides in favor of agroecology. Thirdly, use the documented and evidence based research to provide important input to decision-makers to take action for a sound management of chemicals in the region. The project aims to strengthen the regional collaboration on sound chemical management and work with capacity building at national and local level in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Vietnam, Bangladesh and India.

Result
Strengthened awareness of small-scale farmers, indigenous peoples, and agricultural workers particularly, women and girls on the health and environmental impacts of pesticides; and increased capacity to take action on pesticide reduction and implement alternatives to pesticide use A field survey report on Community based Pesticide Action Monitoring (CPAM) Use and impacts of pesticides in four countries in Asia was published and distributed during the fourth meeting of Strategic Approach and sound management of chemicals and waste (SAICM) in Nairobi, March 2023 (has since been downloaded over 2500 times from PANAPs website). The report Unintentional Acute Pesticide Poisoning in Four Countries was published and disseminated at the meeting of the intersessional process considering the Strategic Approach and sound management of chemicals and waste beyond 2020 in September 2023 in Bonn (has since been downloaded over 1200 times from PANAPs website). 2113 respondents to 2023 CPAM monitoring data. Enhanced biodiversity, health benefits, economic returns, and climate resilience through agroecology initiatives In 2023 4142 people (2437 women, 1705 men) were trained on agroecology (Overall 66 training sessions were held, of which 8 were in Bangladesh, 51 in India and 7 in Laos) PANAP shared information and raised awareness on agroecology reaching 20,000 people, 150 organisations, and almost 23 countries through participation in the Asia Smart Farming Conference and Exhibition, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Four partners (PAN India, Thanal, SRD and SAEDA) conducted biodiversity monitoring, and three partners (PAN India, Thanal and SAEDA) conducted soil carbon testing during 2023. Pesticide policies or actions at local, national, regional, and global levels support the calls and demands of women and men, small holder farmers and workers for phase out the highly hazardous pesticides and the promotion of agroecology 45 new CSOs joined the "Protect our Children" campaign in 2023 and at least 82 000 people including children, students, teachers, and farmers joined the campaign 11 schools and 19 villages committed to Pesticide Free School in 2023 PANAP has contributed to the work that in 2023 resulted in: - inclusion of four important targets on HHPs, alternatives, prevention of illegal trade and double standards in the Global Framework on Chemicals For a planet free of harm from chemicals and waste that was adopted at the Fifth International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM5) in Bonn in September 2023. - The decision of the technical committees of the Rotterdam and Stockholm Convention to move chlorpyrifos, a pesticide harming childrens brains, for possible inclusion. - Initiative to end online sale of banned pesticides in Malaysia with Pesticide Board of Malaysia launched
Overarching Objective: Reduce the harm caused by highly hazardous pesticides through policy changes and through the practice of agroecology and thereby improving the health of the environment, the income and health of farmers, agricultural workers and indigenous peoples, with a special focus on women and youth, with the ultimate goal of reducing poverty and inequality. Immediate Objective 1: Strengthening awareness of small-scale farmers, women, men, girls and boys, indigenous peoples and agricultural workers on the health and environmental impacts of pesticides; and increased capacity to take action on pesticide reduction and alternatives to pesticide use. Outcome 1.1 Increased capacity among communities to carry out participatory research and monitoring through community pesticide action monitoring (CPAM), providing important evidence base of the impacts of pesticides. Outcome 1.2 Strengthened women´s and men´s capacity and knowledge on impact of pesticides on ecosystems; and health and awareness raised of the benefits of agroecology. Intermediate Objective 2: Reduced use of pesticides and enhanced biodiversity, health benefits and economic returns through agroecology initiatives. Outcome 2.1 Awareness created of benefits of agroecology, and capacity built among men and women farmers to practice agroecology. Immediate Objective 3: Pesticide policies at local, national, regional and global level support the calls and demands of women and men small holder farmers and workers for progressive bans of highly hazardous pesticides and the promotion of agroecology.
