Synopsis (short abstract) As part of the FAO foresight initiative, the Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS) prepared the questionnaire - Emerging Issues in Plant Health (Annex 1) that was sent to all contracting parties participating in the 2016 IPPC Regional Workshops. The questionnaire asked participating contracting parties and RPPOs to list the five most important emerging issues related to plant health in the next two to five years and provide short explanations for each issue. The analysis of questionnaire responses was undertaken by the IPPC Secretariat to identify emerging issue trends within and between regions. The findings of this questionnaire are therefore presented globally and regionally. This information gained from the questionnaire responses will help the IPPC Secretariat, RPPOs and the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) understand national and regional emerging issues and trends between geographic areas.

    Report – A critical assessment and analysis of the 2012 and 2016 IPPC general surveys 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The IPPC Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS) has held two general surveys among national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to review contracting parties’ implementation of the IPPC and its standards. Data from both surveys that took place in 2012 and 2016 were analysed separately (IPPC Secretariat, 2014; 2017), but a comparative data analysis was never performed. As part of the preparations for the third general survey, the IRSS decided to re-analyse the existing data and conduct a comparative analysis, in order to establish the value of the collected information and determine which elements of the previous questionnaires to retain. Specifically, the objectives of this study were to:
    • critically assess the questionnaires of the 2012 and 2016 surveys;
    • evaluate the comparability between the 2012 and 2016 questionnaires;
    • review the existing analysis reports;
    • re-analyse the 2012 and 2016 results;
    • conduct a comparative analysis of the 2012 and 2016 data to establish whether changes in implementation of the Convention can be determined.

    Study on the use of International Plant Protection Convention diagnostic protocols
    Implementation Review and Support System survey on the use of International Plant Protection Convention diagnostic protocols
    2022

    In 2016, the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures adopted a recommendation on the importance of pest diagnosis. The recommendation stresses the importance of pest diagnosis in underpinning many activities involved in the implementation of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). The recommendation encourages regional plant protection organizations and contracting parties to share knowledge and expertise, and support laboratory capacity in diagnostic protocols. Encouraging national plant protection organizations to maximize the utilization of diagnostic protocols as official procedures to adequately fulfil their obligations under the IPPC is essential. There remain, however, some strategic issues associated with pest diagnosis that should be integral to all aspects of the IPPC work program. It is in this context that a survey was conducted within the framework of the Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS) on IPPC diagnostic protocols, under the remit of the Implementation and Capacity Development Committee. This report presents the results of the survey, reflects the data received from participants, and illustrates the analysis and recommendations for optimizing the use of diagnostic protocols.

    Project
    Enhancing Protection of Plant Resources from Pests in Developing Countries - GCP/GLO/877/EC 2023
    Also available in:

    Due to rapid globalization, international travel and trade are greater than ever before, and as people and commodities move around the world, organisms that present risks to plants travel with them. The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is an international plant health agreement, which aims to protect cultivated and wild plants by preventing the introduction and spread of pests. Of the 184 IPPC contracting parties, 130 are from developing countries, and there is an increasing demand for technical assistance to improve their capacity to establish and maintain efficient plant protection institutions and framework. Against this background, the European Union funded Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS) project has been operating, since 2012, as the tool used by the IPPC to identify contracting parties’ challenges and opportunities for the implementation of the Convention and International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). This project was implemented to build on the results delivered in the first and second project cycles of the IRSS; and to improve contracting parties’ implementation of the IPPC, ISPMs and Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) recommendations.
