Southern African Pesticide Regulators Forum (SAPReF) Strategic Planning

Venue: Hotel Holidayn Inn, Corner Fifth and Samora Machel Ave., P.O Box 7, Harare, ZimbabweBackground: The Southern African Pesticide Regulators Forum (SAPReF) was established in 2011 by the pesticide regulators of the SADC countries. Current members are from Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. SAPReF is actively seeking the participation of Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. SAPReF members and its steering committee meet regularly and hold virtual meetings to discuss matters related to pests and pesticide management. In 2011 SAPReF developed a rudimentary Action plan that has been further developed in July 2015 in order to be comprehensive enough to guide key activities.Working language: English
