CAMP is an uptake promotion project aimed at “Increased
awareness of the need for improved agrochemical use and management to achieve
implementation of best practice pro-poor integrated natural resource and
pollution prevention management in coastal zones in the Wider Caribbean”. CAMP
seeks to promote a Strategy for Agrochemical Management in the Caribbean,
derived from a previous project (NRSP research project R7668) on the Impacts and
Amelioration of agrochemical pollution in Caribbean Waters.

The current CAMP
project has national and regional components. The national component
focuses on two case study countries namely, Jamaica and St.
Lucia. In these two countries the project communications
strategy attempts to put agrochemical management on the national
agenda. It also promotes the development of National Plans of Action
for the implementation of the recommendations of the Agrochemical Strategy. CAMP
also seeks support and endorsement of the Agrochemical Strategy at the Regional
level for the improved management of agrochemicals across the Caribbean.
