Dakar Resolution Summary on the Future of IFCS

• Background: Forum VI, held in Dakar, Senegal, resulted in the Dakar Resolution, which reaffirms the IFCS's role in advancing international chemical safety and integrating it into the ICCM as an advisory body.

• Key Decisions: The resolution outlines the IFCS's future role as an open, transparent, and inclusive forum for enhancing knowledge on chemical management issues, including current, new, and emerging topics. Functions emphasize information sharing, providing synthesized data, and disseminating reports based on scientific evidence.

• Integration: IFCS is invited to be integrated into ICCM's second session, with provisions to use human, financial, and in-kind resources voluntarily. Specific tasks include raising issues for discussion and supporting SAICM implementation.

• Emphasis on Equity: Recognition of developing countries and economies in transition is highlighted, ensuring their participation and contribution to consensus-building.

• Recommendations: Until full integration, IFCS continues its current operations; resources should be provided voluntarily to support its functions.

This resolution aims to enhance chemical safety by aligning with SAICM's 2020 goal, foster global cooperation, and avoid duplication in international efforts.
