How can NGOs access funding for ASP related activities?
Each country project has an objective of disposal and prevention of obsolete pesticides with detailed activities to achieve these objectives. NGOs can play an important role in activities such as communication and awareness building in which they have special expertise. Where services are to be provided, NGOs can bid to undertake these activities. All bids must comply with the World Bank rules for procurement of services that cover transparency, competition and quality. There is a seat for an NGO representative on the national steering committee in each country. Local NGOs need to ensure they are well organized, and present their views on implementation activities to the steering committee through the NGO focal point. PAN is working to build NGO capacity to participate in country activities.
