- Promote regional FAW prevention, preparedness, and response, and encourage the adoption of regional and international preparedness and response systems;
- Create opportunities to network among the IPPC Secretariat, experts from the FAO/IPPC FAW Technical Working Group, staff from RPPOs and NPPOs to share expertise and information on FAW risks analysis, management, and communication.
Who should attend?
Webinars are primarily directed to National Plant Protection Organizations heads and officers working specifically on pest risk analysis, surveillance, operations, eradication and containment. Stakeholders involved in Fall Armyworm prevention, researchers supporting NPPOs, producers' associations and FAO staff are also welcome.

Why attending this webinar?
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (FAW) can cause unprecedented impacts to, particularly maize (Zeamays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), rice (Oryza sativa), and other crops – if not managed properly. The introduction and spread of this pest should be prevented where still possible. None of the more than 70 countries in which FAW has been detected has been able to eradicate this pest, and significant pest populations have been established in most of the affected countries.
