Phytosanitary Capacity Evaluation
The PCE is an interactive tool designed to conduct a situational analysis of the existing phytosanitary system and to help the National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) assess its progress over time in the implementation of the IPPC and the international standards on phytosanitary measures (ISPMS).
Rapid SPS Assessment Tool (R-SAT)
COLEACP’s new Rapid SPS Assessment Tool (R-SAT) is a practical step-by-step guide to help competent
authorities work with private sector stakeholders to rapidly assess the status and functioning of their
national sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) systems. Further information can be obtained from
Prioritizing SPS Investments for Market Access (P-IMA)
The P-IMA framework offers an evidence-based approach to inform and improve SPS planning and
decision-making processes. It helps to link SPS investments to public policy goals including export growth, agricultural productivity, and poverty reduction. In the process, P-IMA encourages public-private
dialogue, boosts transparency and accountability, and improves the economic efficiency of investment
decisions.
Performance, vision and Strategy for National Plant Protection Organization
The IICA “Performance, Vision and Strategy” (PVS) tool helps countries to determine and improve the
level of performance of their national agricultural health and food safety services (AHFS), and of national
SPS measures coordination mechanisms to create a common vision between the public and private
sectors regarding that performance and how to improve it, as well as to establish priorities and facilitate
strategic planning to achieve institutional objectives, tap opportunities in international trade, and
protect the health of humans, animals and Plants. The PVS tool for National Plant Protection
Organizations(NPPOs) is designed to help NPPOs gauge their current performance level, set priorities
and carry out strategic planning. This tool can also help NPPOs form a shared vision with the private
sector to fulfil their obligations and take advantage of new opportunities.
