Strategic Framework for the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) 2020–2030

Mission, vision and goal of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)

Strategic objectives

Strategic objective A: Enhance global food security and increase sustainable agricultural productivity

Key result A1: All NPPOs have effective pest surveillance systems in place

Key result A2: All NPPOs have strong capacities to monitor, detect, diagnose, report, and prepare rapid responses to pest outbreaks

Key result A3: A plant health emergency response system is in place

Key result A4: Sustainable pest risk management options are implemented widely

Key result A5: All NPPOs have pest risk analysis capacity in place

Key result A6: Pest risk prevention is integrated throughout the production, processing and trade chain

Strategic objective B: Protect the environment from the impacts of plant pests

Key result B1: Parties recognize the management plant pests as part of their responsibilities with national environmental sector agencies

Key result B2: Parties have mechanisms in place to control the spread of environmental contaminating pests

Key result B3: Mechanisms are in place to share adaptation strategies for responding to the impacts of climate change

Key result B4: Agencies with environmental and forest biodiversity stewardship responsibilities regularly access information managed by the IPPC Secretariat.

Key result B5: Contracting parties continue to improve their capacity to implement key IPPC standards

Strategic objective C: Facilitate safe trade, development and economic growth

Key result C1: Commodity-specific standards with harmonized phytosanitary measures have facilitated and simplified safe trade in plant products.

Key result C2: Detections of pests in trade pathways are declining

Key result C3: NPPOs have built capacity and been supported to establish phytosanitary export assurance and phytosanitary certification systems

Key result C4: The efficiency of administering phytosanitary certification systems has improved

Key result C5: NPPOs have access to expert advice to enable resolution of bilateral trade concerns of a phytosanitary nature

Key result C6: NPPOs are able to meet regularly to deliberate on phytosanitary research and emerging issues

Key result C7: Contracting parties have legislation in place to enable implementation of ePhyto

Core activities

SS: Standard setting

SS1: Prioritized commodities and pathways are covered by commodity- or pathway-specific ISPMs adopted or being developed by the Commission

SS2: NPPOs base their phytosanitary systems and import requirements on adopted ISPMs

ICD: Implementation and capacity development

ICD 1: The state of plant health in the world is understood, needs are known and mechanisms to facilitate action are functioning

ICD 2: The phytosanitary capacity evaluation tool has been widely used by contracting parties to understand their strengths and weaknesses and develop plans to address capacity deficiencies

ICD 3: The IPPC Secretariat is resourced to help contracting parties access assistance to address phytosanitary capacity needs

CIC: Communication & international cooperation

CIC 1: The IPPC Secretariat is effectively communicating phytosanitary issues and the importance of plant health

CIC 2: The IPPC Secretariat successfully cooperates with other international organizations and global forums to further increase the visibility of the Convention and its objectives in international policies

CIC3: The IPPC Secretariat is effectively coordinating with FAO to ensure that national or regional FAO offices play an important role in the implementation of the IPPC and its standards

IPPC development agenda 2020–2030

D1: Harmonization of electronic data exchange

D2: Commodity- and pathway-specific ISPMs

D3: Management of e-commerce and postal and courier pathways

D4: Developing guidance on the use of third-party entities

D5: Strengthening pest outbreak alert and response systems

D6: Assessment and management of climate change impacts on plant health

D7: Global phytosanitary research coordination

D8: Diagnostic laboratory networking

SS1: Prioritized commodities and pathways are covered by commodity- or pathway-specific ISPMs adopted or being developed by the Commission Up one level

SS2: NPPOs base their phytosanitary systems and import requirements on adopted ISPMs
