Synopsis (short abstract) This good practice factsheet introduces the ePhyto Solution, an innovative system for issuing and exchanging phytosanitary certificates in electronic form in import and export of plants and plant products. The ePhyto Solution supports this objective by responding to the needs of the twenty-first century. Electronic certificates eliminate several drawbacks of paper certificates, such as damage or fraud, and the ePhyto Solution increases the efficiency of their exchange.

    The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is an international plant health agreement that aims to protect cultivated and wild plants by preventing the introduction and spread of pests. The IPPC has 184 contracting parties and is governed by the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM). Through the implementation of a separate FAO project, the IPPC has launched a new initiative to establish a global hub for electronic phytosanitary ePhyto ) certification. In order to enhance buy in and uptake beyond the vision of the ePhyto hub project, an increased and consistent demand for use of the hub was envisioned. The objective of the present project was to improve the capacity of countries to implement standards on import and export certification using an ePhyto solution and to enhance their ability for pest exclusion. The project was designed to provide complementary resources to support ePhyto hub activities, as well as complementary actions on implementation, such as capacity development workshops, training sessions and meetings, particularly in the areas of risk communication and risk management based on pest risk analysis.
