IPPC
Of 53 AU members, only 31 were contracting parties before TCP
[ NOW: 39 are contracting parties !!! ]
_________________________________________ Situation before TCP:
Most AU members are not IPPC compliant affects trade negatively
Less than adequate contact and communications with most members IPPC contact points
IPPC national obligations
IAPSC Need to understand context and role within IPPC framework
Cannot meet obligations on behalf of countries at present
AU Focal Points and IPPC Contact Points are not necessarily the same

IPPC information exchange
25 Francophone countries invited = 22 attended Jan’ 2006
28 Anglophone countries invited – 19 attended Dec’ 2005
Awareness of national information exchange obligations
Facilitate process
Able to enter national data themselves
Not AU/IAPSC on their behalf!
National awareness and training re IPP
TCP/RAF/3013(A)-Project Evaluation: IAPSC, 5-9/02/2007
TCP/RAF/3013(A)
The objectives:
- to ensure that every IAPSC member and member of the CPM has equal access to essential official phytosanitary information,
- the capability to exchange official information electronically through the IPP as recommended by the ICPM, and
- to meet their obligations under the IPPC and to facilitate phytosanitary decision-making
TCP/RAF/3013(A)-Project Evaluation: IAPSC, 5-9/02/2007
TCP/RAF/3013(A) continued...• build basic national and sub-regional capabilities
• train sub-regional and national staff
• develop a regional- and national information exchange framework
• enhance collaboration between regional and national staff in effective phytosanitary information management
• follow-up nomination of responsible ‘IPP Editors’ (specific responsibilities with regard to provision of official national information)
• facilitate national follow-up training (use of IPP; create awareness on national reporting obligations, etc., to government officials)

Countries shall...
• cooperate to prevent the spread and introduction of quarantine pests,
• promote measures for their official control (ISPM #1)
This will lead to...
• harmonization of phytosanitary regulations in Africa,
• development of regional strategies against the introduction and spread of plant pests (insects, plant pathogens, weeds etc.)

In line with all above information on the project activities, and in view of globalization and trade liberalization, African countries are expected to become much more involved as full partners in international agricultural trade which now imposes many more stringent conditions on agricultural imports from developing countries
This compels African countries to seriously address phytosanitary issues that can affect the quality of agricultural produce destined for the international markets or improve market access
African countries must therefore strictly comply with the SPS-Agreementand abide by the agreements and protocols of the IPPC
