Synopsis (short abstract) Plant health and capacity development is the 2019 annual theme of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). In this framework, the factsheet is intended to provide guidelines for IPPC contracting parties to improve their national phytosanitary capacity, or their “ability to perform functions effectively and sustainably in order to protect plants and plant products from pests and to facilitate trade, in accordance with the IPPC.” Developing a national phytosanitary capacity allows contracting parties to successfully implement the Convention, the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs) and the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) Recommendations.

    The brochure offers a comprehensive overview of the various communication initiatives undertaken as part of the EU-funded GCP/GLO/949/EC project. Beyond simply promoting the project itself, the team crafted a robust communication strategy aimed at raising awareness not only about the project's objectives but also about the critical significance of food safety and plant health. One of the main objectives of the communication strategy is to give voice to the partners involved in the project. The brochure highlights the efforts made in this respect. It highlights the interviews conducted with workshop participants and government officials in each country, ensuring diverse perspectives were captured and represented. Activities showcased in the brochure are the press releases circulated around project activities, the X/Twitter posts, the news articles published on FAO websites, EU websites, local publications, and the activities conducted for the 2023 World Food Safety Day. The brochure reveals the efforts made to include voices from our partners across the 12 African Union countries. Interviews were conducted in each country with participants of workshops and government officials to receive their feedback around the assessments and activities. Photos and footage were taken of missions conducted in participating countries to validate the data collected throughout the project period. The footage and photos are being edited and collated to create a series of videos meant to document the work conducted throughout the project.
