FAO e-learning training toolkit on plant health legislation

The FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031 highlights the critical role of strengthened national and international integrated One Health systems in achieving global food security and environmental protection, with a particular emphasis on the prevention, early warning, and management of plant pests and diseases. In alignment with this framework, the project aims to develop a comprehensive training toolkit on plant health legislation. This toolkit is designed to enhance knowledge and awareness of plant health legislation’s key components, its vital role in ensuring sustainable agri-food systems, and to bolster outreach efforts on this area.

This initiative involves detailed engagements with key stakeholders, including the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and representatives from regional and national plant protection organizations, to create a training toolkit that draws on the IPPC, international instruments, legislative guidelines, the phytosanitary capacity evaluation (PCE) tool, and FAO’s field reports related to technical legal assistance.

The toolkit aims to serve not only as a resource for legislative reform but also to build institutional capacity, raise awareness and political interest in plant health.
