Now available: French edition of the study on phytosanitary systems and agricultural development

The IPPC Secretariat is pleased to announce the release of the French edition of the study “Phytosanitary Systems and Agricultural Development: Modelling the Impact of Phytosanitary Capacity Evaluations in Africa”, produced under the EU-funded project “Strengthening Food Control and Phytosanitary Capacities and Governance” (GCP/GLO/949/EC).

The study examines the long-term impact of strengthening phytosanitary systems in Africa through the Phytosanitary Capacity Evaluation (PCE) framework. Key findings show that while one-time PCE interventions can deliver short-term gains, sustained investment, repeated interventions, and strong institutional frameworks are essential for lasting improvements in plant health, trade, and rural development.
