DDT is produced
| No1 | GEF-funded NIP Projects is not available in GEF Website.3 | DDT is actually used in Disease Vector Control (i.e. IRS)
| Yes1 | In the reporting period 2001-2003, the amounts of DDT used were: (2001
- 0 kg, 2002 - 60.000 kg and 2003 - 40.000 kg).1 In the reporting period 2003-2005, the amounts of DDT used were: (2003 - 60.000 kg, 2004 - 40.000 kg and 2005 - 0 kg).1 Reported amounts of DDT used in 2000 about 18.971 kg, in 2001 0 kg and in 2002 about 45.113 kg.6 Reported amounts of DDT used in 2003 45.000 kg, in 2004 30.000 kg and in 2005 - 2009 0 kg.6.3, 6.5 For the period 1993-1997 annual organochlorine insecticide (assumed DDT) use for malaria control was between 99.000 kg and 165.000 kg.6 |
DDT is imported
| Yes1 | In the reporting period 2001-2003, the amounts of DDT imported from China
were:
(2001 - 0 kg, 2002 - 60.000 kg, 2003 - 40.000 kg).1 In the reporting period 2003-2005, the amounts of DDT imported from China were: (2003 - 60.000 kg, 2004 - 40.000 kg, 2005 0 kg).1 In Madagascar, after severe malaria epidemics in 1987, DDT was re-introduced for vector control. This use of DDT has gradually decreased from 208 t in 1993 to 60 t in 2002.5 |
DDT is exported
| No1 | GEF-funded NIP Projects is not available in GEF Website.3 |
Purchase/Use is regulated
| Yes1 | In 1993, DDT was banned for agricultural purposes.1 |
DDT alternatives are used
| Yes1 | In the reporting period 2001-2003 no alternatives were implemented, but in the period 2003-2005 one chemical substitute was used.1 Between 1997 and 2005 3.865 kg of pyrethroids were used for malaria vector control (mostly in 1999 - 3.121 kg and 2005 - 663 kg).6.3 Based on epidemiological surveillance data, spraying operations in Madagascar have reduced by 50% the quantities of DDT used from 250 t to 125 t over a period of 5 years.5 |
Has a national vector control policy
| Yes1 | GEF-funded NIP Projects is not available in GEF Website.3 |
IVM strategy is implemented
| No1 | IVM process was initiate by WHO in 2001 and IVM implementation is undergoing in this GEF Project as an environmental sustainable alternative.5 |
Hold usable stocks of DDT
| No1 | There are neither usable stocks nor obsolete stocks.1 |
