  1. Pest Risk Analysis Training in LDCs Robert Ikin Biosecurity Consultant Brisbane Australia bobikin@bigpond.net.au

  2. What is the best strategy for Pest Risk Analysis training? • Limited technical expertise • Limited information resources • Operational capacity restricted • Few pest management options • Legislation not receptive to outputs

  3. Workshop content International context – WTO;SPS; IPPC, ISPMs and the CBD. Regional context – regional trade agreements and RPPOs National context – legislation, NPPO structure and functions, inter-departmental liaison. PRA process and linkage to ISPMs Initiation Assessment Management Communication PRA exercises – commodity/country combinations; LMOs; IAS/weed risk PRA outputs Implementation capability – not just a pest list Phytosanitary Capacity Evaluation exercise to identify areas requiring inputs.

  4. Who needs the training? What type of training is required by each group (curriculum)? How is the training delivered to ensure impact? What are the sustainability problems that limit implementation of the knowledge delivered?

  5. Workshop profiles (16-20) • Small Island Developing States • All levels of participation • Awareness raising of stakeholders • Larger States • NPPO participation only • Restricted to PRA team • Little outreach to stakeholders • Public workshops on policy

  6. Limited technical expertise Mentor at the right level Relevant exercises and examples Participatory approach Focus on national needs - PRA on a potential import Limited information resources CABI CPC as a primary resource Limitations Datasheets Major crops Plant parts Updating economics Constraints

  7. Management options Limited treatment options Overseas treatment Systems approach complexity Cost of HTFA etc Legislation Framework outdated PRA not mandated as a process Incorporation Pest lists Import conditions Implementation Manuals Biosecurity Information Facility Constraints

  8. Conclusions • PRA training has to be targeted • Short term training limited impact? • Formal training courses? • Regional centres? • PRA training has to be participative • Ownership by trainees • Mentored confidence in making decisions • What is an adequate PRA?

  9. Conclusions • Link PRA to the other ISPMs • Inputs – pest lists, pest status, surveys • Outputs – inspection, systems approach etc • And to LMO and AIS risk analysis methods • LDCs need assistance through cooperation • Exchange of updated datasheets • Mechanism?? • Provision of expertise • Regional networks?
