Synopsis (short abstract) A report of the 2016 IPPC General Survey. The 2016 IPPC General Survey was conducted to review contracting parties' implementation of the Convention, its international standards and CPM recommendations. The survey revealed that implementation is dependent on the resources available to contracting parties and prioritization of national interests. Contracting parties' implementation of the Convention obligations was highest for export and import related activities. However, contracting parties' prioritization of international standards resulted in different findings, with pest risk analysis and surveillance considered the most important. Finally, contracting parties are implementing CPM recommendations well, with several recommendations rated with very high implementation. The findings of this survey will be used to assist the IPPC Secretariat in planning work to support and strengthen contracting party implementation.

    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.

    A report of the Implementation and Review Support System (IRSS) study: Analyzing the benefits of implementing the IPPC. This study was commissioned by the CPM Bureau, to identify the benefits of implementing the IPPC at the national, regional and global level, while also considering benefits to different industries and sectors relating to plant health. The different aspects that were to be considered were in relation to implementation of the Convention, ISPMs and CPM recommendations, in achievin g the IPPC strategic objectives. The outcomes of this study are intended to highlight to the beneficiaries and stakeholders of the IPPC, how implementation of the Convention, ISPMs and CPM recommendations is of value to them. The beneficiaries are considered the IPPC community, at the global, regional and national levels, who are involved in plant health implementation activities. The study will demonstrate benefits using a series of case studies.

    Global Emerging Issues: A report of findings from the 2016 IPPC regional workshops questionnaire 2017
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    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.
