SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Scope: The purpose of this Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Amendment is to review activities under the Kenya KAVES which is a $39.8 million USAID-funded program that integrates Dairy, Horticultural and maize production value chains. The PERSUAP also reviews activities approved in the original IEE. Overall recommendations made in previous PERSUAP studies in both horticulture (USAID-KHCP, 2011), dairy (USAID KDSCP, 2008), and maize (USAID-KMDP, 2003) still hold true and an intensification of efforts in those areas is required. Purpose: In compliance with USAID’s Pesticide Procedures (22 CFR 216.3(b)), this PERSUAP: • Establishes the set of pesticides for which support is authorized in USAID/KAVES Agriculture Sector activities. • Establishes requirements attendant to support for these pesticides to assure that pesticide use/support (1) embodies the principles of safer pesticide use and, (2) per USAID policy, is within an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) framework. These requirements come into effect upon approval of the PERSUAP. The set of authorized pesticides and requirements for safer use are established through the first sections of the document, the Pesticide Evaluation Report (PER), which culminates with an assessment of the 12 pesticide risk evaluation factors (a through l) required by 22 CFR 216.3(b). KAVES will implement risk reduction and mitigation measures specified in this PERSUAP under the Safer Use Action Plan (SUAP). The SUAP provides a succinct, definitive stand-alone statement of compliance requirements, synthesized from the 12-factor analysis. It also provides a template for assigning responsibilities and timelines for implementation of these requirements. Each project subject to this PERSUAP must complete this SUAP template and submit to its AOR/COR. This PERSUAP has been reviewed and revised in March 2014 to reflect the approval of several pesticide active ingredients (AIs) that were originally flagged as Restricted Use Pesticides (RUPs), but are not RUPs for the intended uses described herein and/or at the AI concentrations in the Kenyan-approved products specified in this revised PERSUAP. The list of candidate pesticides in Section 4.8 of the original draft of the PERSUAP served as a “menu” for approved pesticides; however, only approved ingredients were selected from this list. In this revised PERSUAP, all pesticides in Table 3 in Section 4.8 have been assessed and have either been accepted or rejected for procurement or use under the Kenya KAVES project. 2013 USAID-KAVES PERSUAP | pg. 7 Prepared by Fintrac Inc.
