Explanation of how key elements of scheme could fit together

The IOMC Tool Box for Decision-Making in Chemical Management, and more specifically, the pesticide management module, is an instrument to assist countries in developing and advancing their national pesticide regulatory programs.  The topics associated with the pesticide module, and related links to tools and reference materials, provide foundational information for countries to consider as they move their programs forward.  The Tool Box provides suggested approaches for organizing and clarifying national legislation, regulations, policy and guidance to advance programs that ensure the safe use of effective pesticides for agriculture, public health and residential pest management.

A figure, adapted from that provided below, could be modified as follows to aid Tool Box users:

1)      Replace ‘Product registration’ with ‘Registration Decision’

2)      Replace ‘Surveillance of poisoning’ with ‘Monitoring and Surveillance’

3)      Replace  ‘Public Education’ with ‘Oversight, Compliance and Enforcement’

4)      Replace ‘Application’ with ‘National Capacity Building’

Using the Table provided below as a reference for phrases: list the Registration elements below the Registration Decision Box, on the left hand side of two sets of arrows; list the Monitoring and Surveillance elements under the Monitoring and Surveillance box; list the ‘Oversight, Compliance and Enforcement’ elements under the associated box; list the ‘National Capacity Building’ elements under the associated box; turn all single-headed arrows into double-headed arrows and have only one double-headed arrow between the ‘Registration Decision’ and ‘Monitoring and Surveillance’ boxes.
