Regional Activities. A regional workshop was held on licensing and inspection of pesticide retailers, which enabled countries to exchange experiences and to discuss issues of common concern. Participants appreciated the practical focus of the workshop and the opportunity to exchange information with colleagues from neighbouring countries and learn from each other how practical issues can be resolved. Further, the project closely collaborated with a FAO regional technical collaboration project (TCP) to harmonize pesticide registration requirements within ASEAN and with the Asia Pacific Plant Protection Commission, which has Standing Committees on IPM and on Pesticides. As the FAO-TCP now has ended, it is envisaged that Phase II of the project will play an explicit role in continuation of the regional collaboration initiated under the TCP. Four regional meetings/workshops were organized by the FAO Regional IPM/Pesticide Risk Reduction Programme in 2010 and 2011 to bring together project staff, national counterparts, and related organizations for progress reporting, planning of annual work-plans and experience sharing. These meetings have also been used by FAO and its programme partners, in particular the Working Group on Community Education for Pesticide Risk Reduction (WG-CEPRR), as a forum to address various community education initiatives - including curriculum development - and related pesticide policy issues. These meetings have facilitated a dialogue on GO-NGO collaboration as to strengthen the impact and sustainability of community education for pesticide risk reduction programmes. Additionally, the FAO Regional IPM/Pesticide Risk Reduction Programme supported the development and implementation of various FAO implemented regional projects (e.g., GCP/RAS/268/AIT, GCP/RAS/253/ASB, TCP/RAS/3311) on farmer education and action research activities on ecological management of various invasive pest species otherwise prone to pesticide abuse. Two regional workshops were organized for TFA’s partners in 2010 and 2012 for training, exchange, reviewing and planning. Participants for the REAL regional workshops included partner CSOs, concerned governmental officials and policy makers. TFA also organized a study visit to the REAL program in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2011 for policy makers from Vietnam and Beijing, China. PAN AP organised a regional FAO code monitoring capacity building workshop for partners from 10 countries in the Asia Pacific region to identify and monitor the impleme...

Regional Activities. Identify and implement regionally consistent strategies to reduce emissions of lead, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, fine particulates, toluene, and perchloroethylene transported from out of state, in order to meet or maintain the state air quality standard for each pollutant within the entire State of Maine. Strategies will include collaborative efforts with federal, state, tribal and other inter-governmental agencies and groups such as the northeast regional haze Regional Planning Organization. Reduce through regulatory programs, market-based strategies, and voluntary measures, the amount of lead, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, fine particulate matter, toluene, and perchloroethylene emissions that are released from new and existing area, point and mobile sources, in order to meet or maintain the state air quality standard for each pollutant within the entire State of Maine. Special emphasis will be placed on control programs and/or strategies providing multi-pollutant and multi-media benefits. Programs that simultaneously reduce emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulates provide greater air quality benefits at a lower total cost than addressing emissions in a piecemeal fashion. This is often the most effective approach to managing multi-media pollution issues such as groundwater contamination, acid deposition and eutrophication. Priorities include the development and implementation of multi-pollutant and multi-benefit control programs including nitrogen oxides emission limits for stationary internal combustion engines and ultra-low fuel sulfur requirements for non-road and stationary diesel engines. Develop and implement new air quality standards necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare, as indicated by outside air monitoring results, and the assessment of federal rules and health impact studies.

Regional Activities. For SPIDA purposes, industry development activities reported against a company's SPIDA will be considered to be "regional activities" if they have been undertaken in areas outside of the capital cities, except for Darwin and Hobart. An RHQ is the centre controlling, or responsible for, an international group’s operations in a geographical region, such as the Asia Pacific. An RHQ may be an intermediate holding company for the international group’s investments in regional operating companies, providing high level management and treasury functions to the members of the regional subgroup. For SPIDA purposes, an entity that provides services (eg technical support, R&D, training, call centre functions, finance and accounts) to other members of the group or customers globally or in the region outside Australia, will be accepted as an RHQ. An international group may have a number of such RHQs in a region, each providing a different service to the other members of the group. One RHQ may be the intermediate holding company providing financial accounting services. Another may provide high level technical support services, a third may be a regional training centre.

Regional Activities. At regional level, the Programme supported ITUC in Latin America (CSA/TUCA), jointly carrying out a campaign with focus on six countries (Peru, Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Chile and El Salvador). The campaign included media campaigns, training events, building and strengthening trade union platforms and support for the trade unions’ fight for workers´ rights through social dialogue. The regional campaign had an impact at several levels. Primarily, it allowed the trade unions of Latin America to have a joint coordinated approach to rights and gender equality. Important activities targeted sensitive target groups such as judges, lawmakers and ministers, allowing the trade unions to increase their influence in the fight for their rights at levels that would otherwise be hard to reach. The dialogue with trade unions is key to enhance the implementation of labour law by taking international standards into account. Through training sessions , the Programme also had a positive impact on the reporting to the ILO’s supervisory machinery in several countries, most notably in Guatemala. The enhanced reporting from trade unions allows the ILO´s supervisory bodies to better examine important cases on violation of labour rights. The work on Participatory Gender Audits previously carried out jointly with ILO’s Gender Unit in Africa and Europe, was implemented in Latin America, leading to greater awareness of gender issues and strengthening of gender networks in the region. The Programme also greatly enhanced the visibility of TUCA´s campaign for workers’ rights at the regional level, and will be presented as a major success at the ITUC Congress in Berlin in May 2015. By acting at regional level, the regional-national link eased processes of trade union unification, leading to the development of trade union platforms across the continent, and even lead directly to merger of unions at sectoral level. Secondly, an enhanced focus on MNEs operating in several countries, led to the exploration of joint campaign against companies that are actively working against trade unions and workers´ rights across national borders. Thirdly, in countries where trade unionists were killed because of their fight for human rights, the regional approach enhanced the speed and strength of the response from regional and global actors. Fourthly, in all the first three areas, lessons learned in one country proved fruitful in other countries. In East Africa, the Programme carried ou...
