This partnership improved the ability of the University of Dar es Salaam’s University College of Lands and Architectural Studies (UCLAS) to advocate environmentally sound and cost-effective pesticide management methods in Tanzania. It was designed to train a new generation of pesticide experts in Tanzania, creating opportunities for an enhanced pesticide-related research program at UCLAS.

Through a series of workshops and site visits, partners shared best practices and established themselves as leaders in environmental remediation. They held workshops in Tanzania and Mississippi to discuss obsolete methods of pesticide disposal and mechanisms to prevent the accumulation of toxic stockpiles. Partnership activities encouraged Tanzanian policy makers and businesspeople to consult the partners at UCLAS for their expertise in pesticide management and disposal.
