CropLife International’s recommendations
Establish a pilot project for 3-5 years to
create
‘permanent JMPR staff’
to
provide support for the JMPR Expert
Panels
•
Secondments from existing
institutions, or recently retired experts
from governments could be
considered.
•
External consultants paid through a
“fee system” allowing funding from
industry
Increase the number of experts
particularly in regions underrepresented
in JMPR expert panels.
•
Ensure continued training of new
experts for JMPR work by leveraging
ongoing capacity building efforts
To improve JMPR resources and resourcing
