Terminal Evaluation of the UNEP-GEF Project: Establishment of efficient and effective data collection and reporting procedures for evaluating the continued need of DDT for disease vector control.

This report presents the development and implementation of a harmonised data collection and reporting framework to support global monitoring of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane in alignment with obligations under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. It outlines the project’s objective to improve the quality, consistency and comparability of national data on production, use, stockpiles and disposal, particularly for disease vector control. The document describes consultations with countries, review of existing reporting systems, preparation of guidance materials, and pilot testing of tools. It summarises progress achieved, identifies gaps and capacity constraints, and details activities undertaken to strengthen national reporting, data management and coordination mechanisms across participating countries.
