Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    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.

    The year 2016 has been a milestone for the IPPC as it was the first year to implement the IPPC annual themes with a view towards 2020. Key tasks continued to be more focused and operational mechanisms were optimized on an ongoing basis, while an increasing emphasis was being placed on the standardization of operational procedures and processes. The renewal of the IPPC Secretariat continued to build on the good foundations established in 2015, with a focus on moving towards “One IPPC”. Strengthe ned cooperation with NPPOs and RPPOs was also emphasized. The IPPC annual theme for 2016 was “Plant Health and Food Security”.

    Policy brief
    Key sanitary and phytosanitary issues constraining the efficient movement of agricultural products at the South African Development Community regional ports of entry and exit and how to address them 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Agriculture is a major source of exports in some Southern African Development Community (SADC) Member States. However, intra-SADC trade flows as a percentage of total imports and exports remain low. This trend is partly attributed to excessive customs duties, border delays, as well as non-tariff barriers on imported products among SADC Member States. To contribute to the actualization of the SADC Protocol on Trade, selected SADC regional ports of entry/exit were assessed to determine key sanitary and phytosanitary issues hampering the efficient movement of agricultural products and to provide recommendations to address them. This policy brief is based on findings of the assessment and a SADC Cross Border Road Transport Agency report.
