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.
