Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training Materials

The Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training materials are tools that guide and assist in the implementation of the IPPC, its international standards for phytosanitary measures (ISPMs) and CPM recommendations 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.

The Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training materials are developed by the IPPC Secretariat under the direction of its Implementation and Capacity Development Committee (IC) with the participation of selected international experts. The former Capacity Development Committee (CDC) contributed to this process very fruitfully.

This series of Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training materials available on this page assist in the achieving goals set by the CPM-approved IPPC National Phytosanitary Capacity Development Strategy and to fulfill objectives of the IPPC Strategic Framework 2012-2019.

The Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training materials are intended to be globally-relevant, and available for adaption for country and regional needs.

The topics for the Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training materials were selected by the CDC based on a need analysis process, focusing on materials that were not available and that would assist in setting and strengthening a phytosanitary institutional framework and systems.

As per CPM-13 (2018) decisions, future topics will be selected through the Call for Topics: Standards and Implementation. The Strategy and process for the Development of Implementation and Capacity Development Guides and Training Materials are posted below.
