520 |a Efforts to implement environmentally sound pest management strategies have often been impeded by government policies and regulations that inadvertently promote the use of pest control over more sustainable practices. Such sustainable practices encompass a number of technologies and farmer-centered actions, referred to as integrated pest management (IPM). Analysis and discussion in this volume provide guidance on policies and best practices drawn from the collective experiences of a wide range of pest management programs administered by different levels of government, farmers, the World bank, and other agencies. Important steps for the Bank to take will be: developing a sound policy framework and organizational structures conducive to adopting IPM; providing technical backup through research and extension; providing technical training to farmers; and encouraging farmer participation in designing and administering IPM initiatives. To play a more proactive role, the Bank should: assess needs and priorities in relation to IPM and make sustainable production technologies an integral component of sustainable growth strategies; use economic and sector work more to analyze and define relevant sector policies and define regulatory and institutional frameworks; use project screening tools more to analyze the sustainability aspects of proposed strategies, including prospects for IPM.
