The FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM) works as an advisory body to FAO and WHO on the lifecycle management of pesticides in agriculture and public health. It supports the development of guidance documents, leveraging its technical expertise to facilitate the implementation of individual articles from the International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management. They also advise the Organizations on policies, guidance and key actions to support Member States on sound management of pesticides.

The JMPM was constituted and held its first session in 2007, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between FAO and WHO on cooperation in a joint programme for the sound management of pesticides. It is expected that UNEP will also join this joint programme soon.

The FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM) comprises expert panel members appointed by both FAO and WHO. Panel Members are internationally recognized specialists with expertise and experience in the lifecycle management of pesticides used in agriculture and public health. They do not represent the position of the governments or institutions they may belong to but are appointed to the Panels in their personal capacity.
