Training Material on Pest Risk Analysis Based on IPPC International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures
Three international standards for phytosanitary measures (ISPMs) on pest risk analysis (PRA) have been developed and adopted by the Commision on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) :
- ISPM No. 2 (2007): Framework for pest risk analysis
- ISPM No. 11 (2004): Pest risk analysis for quarantine pests
- ISPM No. 21 (2004): Pest risk analysis for regulated non-quarantine pests.
To help countries understand and implement these standards, an international advisory group of PRA experts was established to develop a training course and training materials designed to increase countries' understanding of PRA standards and capacity to conduct PRA. The training course was designed to be delivered over five days, and consists of 14 presentations explaining PRA concepts and practices, and 14 group exercises to demonstrate those concepts. Three manuals associated with the training course and other related materials are now available:
- Manual for participants taking the course
- Manual containing the group exercises
- Powerpoint presentations
- Manual for instructors giving the course
- speaker's notes for giving the presentations.
These materials are freely available for use by any interested party. They can be downloaded below or requested from the IPPC Secretariat ([email protected]).
