==Others==
*Ghana has pesticide legislation, part II of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Act (Act 490), which governs the whole pesticide life cycle. The legislation helps to assure that pesticides are used in a safe way in the country. The Ghana EPA is responsible for the registration of pesticides as well as their management. They do this to ensure that the pesticides are properly labelled, distributed, stored, transported, used and applied by following the accepted procedures and processes.
*The Ghana EPA further monitors pesticide use and, if needed, react against illegal use, and issues pesticides importation and use licences. The registration of pesticides is headed by a Pesticides Registrar who works with a Pesticides Technical Committee which includes a wide background of expertise and institutions (section 53 of the Act) and which advises the Ghana EPA Board whether pesticides should be registered or not.
