The CRC concentrates on integrated approaches that:

  • support the development, sharing and adaptation of preventive control strategies, explore approaches for assessing impact, vulnerability, adaptation and planning, and focus on economic, institutional and financing issues;
  • create enabling frameworks for economically and environmentally sound control products that embody resource use efficiency, diversification, accessibility and mitigation of the negative impacts of conventional insecticides.
