National plant protection organizations (NPPOs) are responsible for carrying out specific functions established by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) at the national level. By fulfilling these responsibilities, NPPOs contribute to the overarching goals of the IPPC: preventing the introduction and spread of plant pests and facilitating safe trade.
This tool is designed to assist plant protection professionals by outlining the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary for their roles within a NPPO and offering access to various learning resources to help them develop these essential capabilities.
