    Report – A critical assessment and analysis of the 2012 and 2016 IPPC general surveys 2023

    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.

    An fundamental activity of national plant protection organizations is to conduct pest surveillance. For the purpose of international trade, the results of pest surveillance provide the basis for pest listing, identification of pest status, pest categorization and the conduct of pest risk analyses. In 1997, the International Plant Protection Convention issued the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) No. 6: Guidelines for surveillance to assist national organizations in the imp lementation of this critical activity. In 2011, it was decided to review these guidelines and identify challenges faced by the contracting parties for implementation, as well as identify resources for resolving those challenges. At the request of the Standards Committee of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), the Implementation Review and Support System will catalogue the challenges faced and make recommendations to the review panel of ISPM No. 6 on ways to improve the standard. It will also gather examples of best practices globally so that appropriate training materials and manuals might be prepared under the capacity development programme of the IPPC. For the purpose of this review, a questionnaire was developed and distributed among national plant protection organizations. Seventeen countries from Asia and the Pacific region responded to this call and completed the questionnaire, composed of three parts: the questionnaire, technical resources and best practices. Th e results from the survey were compiled and analyzed, and are presented in this publication, which reflects the current status of pest surveillance in the region. Conclusions and recommendations are included in the report.
