- Joint WHO/FAO Guidelines on Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) have been released in April 2016. FAO has subsequently received a request from SAPReF Secretariat for financial and technical support for its member states to deploy strategies to reduce HHPs risks. In response, FAO and the Rotterdam Convention jointly organised the 5-day workshop in Johannesburg in April, which included training sessions on the protocol for identification of HHPs, on field surveys to assess actual conditions of use of HHPs and to develop national risk reduction plans.Available at: www.fao.org/3/a-i5566e.pdf
