The Africa Stockpiles Programme (ASP) aims to clear all obsolete pesticide stocks from Africa and put in place measures to prevent their recurrence.
ASP’s objective is to clean up stockpiled pesticides and pesticide-contaminated waste (e.g., containers and equipment) in Africa in an environmentally sound manner; catalyse development of prevention measures; and provide capacity building and institutional strengthening on important chemicals-related issues.
