Tanzania Plant Health and Pesticides Authority (TPHPA)
Short Description
The Tanzania Plant Health and Pesticides Authority (TPHPA) is the National Plant Protection Organization for Tanzania. It was formed through the merging of what was the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute and the Plant Health Services department in the Ministry of Agriculture. The Governing law giving TPHPA the legal mandate to act as the country's NPPO is the Plant Health Act of 2020, a repeal of the Plant Protection act of 1998. The major improvements in the law align the functioning of the NPPO to the requirements of the IPPC, ensuring Tanzania fulfills its obligations to the International Community.
