List of Implementation and Capacity Development Topics

IPPC guides, e-learning courses, training kits and other implementation and capacity development resources are produced under the oversight of the Implementation and Capacity Development Committee (IC). Information about the steps involved in developing these materials may be found here.

Topic proposals can be submitted by NPPOs and RPPOs during the Call for Topics: Standards and Implementation. New topics also arise from projects that receive technical support from the IPPC Secretariat and when the IC identifies that an existing IPPC guide or training material needs to be updated.

Topics shown on the List of Implementation and Capacity Development (ICD) Topics have been adopted by the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM). The priority level of the topics is determined by the IC.
