This project aims to be used to finalize the IPPC Secretariat work on developing the guide on phytosanitary audits. The guide on audits will ensure that all contracting parties, including Canada’s main and emerging trading partners, have a common understanding of the ISPM 47 Audit in the phytosanitary context (adopted in 2022), which should translate into a more predictable and regular access to new markets for both imported and exported plant products.

This project aims to be used to support the development and drafting of a new annex on remote audits for the ISPM 47 (Audit in the phytosanitary context). Its development will help ensure that remote audits are considered an acceptable phytosanitary measure and provide a more consistent approach to remote audits. This in turn would provide more flexibility for oversight while decreasing the cost to Canadian agricultural exporters.

This project aims the IPPC ePhyto Solution becomes part of the core international infrastructure facilitating safe global trade in plants and plant products via the exchange of e-phytos amongst IPPC contracting parties.  However, it is currently exposed to a funding vulnerability as there is no obligation for IPPC contracting parties to provide funding, so has been solely funded by a only a small number of donors.  CPM-18 has urged all contracting parties to provide support to the IPPC ePhyto Solution through the Multi-donor Trust Fund to ensure the continuation of this important platform until a permanent funding solution can be found. 

This project aims the Technical Panel on Commodity Standards (TPCS) to be responsible for the development and updating commodity standards and develops guidance on related aspects. Funding of the TPCS will support the activities of the Technical Panel and will ultimately result in the development of various commodity standards. The adoption of commodity-specific standards is expected to facilitate and accelerate trade negotiations and simplify safe trade in plant products between importing and exporting countries.

This project aims high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) represents an ongoing threat to global animal and public health, food security, and biodiversity calling for coordinated international efforts. This project aims to develop a global risk communication campaign to enhance awareness and understanding of HPAI risks, prevention strategies, and control measures. The campaign will align with WOAH's science-based standards and international guidelines. Key activities include the creation of communication materials that focus on HPAI risk management, biosecurity, surveillance, vaccination, zoning, and compartmentalization. The campaign will draw from the expertise of AI global experts and communication specialists to ensure consistent and effective messaging targeting various audiences in both the public and private sectors.

This project aims to improve the timely availability and accessibility of the Codex Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticide residues in food and animal feed and by doing so safeguard consumer health and facilitate international trade.
