Project activities
Two workshops on each subject will be held during a full week stay (June 8 – June 12) with the main stakeholders of PPD and the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, i.e. twice a session of two working days. In between the two sessions the experts will work out a first draft of the work plan and present this in the second workshop.
With an interactive approach and creating commitment at the same time a consensus on the developed work plan will be created. Gaps and opportunities will be identified in both the pesticide registration process and the phytosanitary field.
The final work plan of a possible period of 3 – 5 years will be worked out in more detail in the Netherlands, with realistic benchmarks, risk assessment and a planning. In consultation with the beneficiaries the final result will be formulated.
An additional meeting on the final result will be held with RVO discussing next steps and a possible longer (financial) commitment from the Dutch side.
