Resumen
Descripción
The mandate of the IPPC is to protect the plant resources of the world from pests through the promotion of standardized, science-based phytosanitary measures. Ensuring that these measures are implemented in a coordinated fashion facilitates trade and helps avoid disputes between countries. A total of 130 developing countries are members of the IPPC, out of 180 members. These developing countries often lack the technical capacity to implement the Convention and the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). This project was designed to support them to implement the Convention and its standards by providing members from these countries with capacity-development guides and training, and by facilitating their participation at meetings and conferences and in the development and drafting of standards.
