IPPC Guides and Training Materials

IPPC Guides and Training materials are tools that guide and assist national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to implement the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), its international standards for phytosanitary measures (ISPMs) and recommendations of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) through:

Providing accurate and easy to understand technical information.
Providing best practices to facilitate the establishment and operation of national phytosanitary systems.
Providing NPPOs with a basis to develop national legislation, policies, guides, SOPs, training materials and courses.
Building national phytosanitary capacities.

IPPC Guides and Training materials are developed under the oversight of the Implementation and Capacity Development Committee (IC) with the participation of selected international experts. The Strategy and Process for the Development of Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training Materials are posted below. Additional information on the development of guides and training materials is available here

The guides, training kits and fact sheets listed on this page are intended to be globally-relevant and easy to adapt to specific country and regional needs.
