  1. "UNEP promoting alternatives to DDT"Demonstrating and Scaling-up of Sustainable Alternatives to DDT in Vector Management (DSSA - Global Programme) A program implemented by United Nations Environment Program- UNEP and executed by World Health Organization – WHO (HQ & Regional Offices) and the stakeholders of participating countries Approved by GEF Council on 23 April 2008

  2. Objective of the program • Objective: The DSSA-Global Programme aims at the protection of human health and the environment through the reduction of emission of DDT into the global environment. • How: Decreasing the use of DDT through introduction, demonstration and scaling-up of sustainable alternatives to DDT in disease vector management.

  3. Linkage with SSC • The projects executed within the framework of the DSSA-Global Programme are part of the Business Plan of the Secretariat of the Stockholm Convention (SSC) to promote a global partnership for the development and deployment of alternative products, methods and strategies to DDT for disease vector control .

  4. Long-term goal of the DSSA – Global Program • To contribute to a re-formulation of the WHO Global Malaria Program in order to promote global vector borne disease control interventions while at the same time eliminating the application of DDT and reducing the use of other chemicals.

  5. 1997: WHA Resolution 50.13 Members States “to take steps to reduce reliance on insecticides for control of vector borne diseases through promotion of integrated pest management approaches in accordance with WHO guidelines…” WHA - World Health Assembly: WHO's decision-making body

  6. Conference of the Parties Stockholm Convention (Dakar, 30 April- 4 May 2007) Parties called for: • increased research into alternatives to DDT; • increased promotion of success stories; • improved sharing of experiences. Many delegates pointed out that, seeing the urgency of the situation, there was need for adequate funding and clear plans that included participation of the civil society.
