The Development Law Service works very closely with the Secretariat of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) to promote its implementation in member countries, or countries with potential to be future members. As part of this effort, 40 phytosanitary experts and 20 lawyers were trained in five regional workshops between 2015-2017. The Service has also worked in more than 12 countries to develop legislation on plant protection to implement the IPCC.
