4 Impact (Goal) To contribute to enabling male and female farmers around the world to lose less and grow more Outcome (Purpose) To strengthen the capacity of agricultural institutions and organisations to establish sustainable plant health systems within their country, using the Plantwise approach as the framework for action
5 Outputs (Expected Results) Innovative linkages established between key actors in a plant health system, including extension, research, regulation and input supply National networks of plant clinics established to provide regular advice to farmers and facilitate pest surveillance through the collection and use of plant clinic data Comprehensive knowledge bank developed according to user needs for pest diagnosis, treatment and distribution, and made available to national advisory services and organisations contributing to plant health systems Monitoring and evaluation schemes implemented for continuous learning, improving processes and quantifying outcomes and impact
6 Partnerships The success of Plantwise is dependent on partnerships Plantwise facilitates institutional change through strong partnerships with relevant government ministries and departments, such as: extension crop protection (often representing the NPPO)
7 Partnerships With national governments as the key partner, Plantwise strengthens national plant health systems by linking stakeholders, such as: diagnostic services agro-input suppliers research institutions non-governmental organisations post-secondary educational institutions farmer- and community-based organisations
8 Plant clinics Work like the human health system (doctors, pharmacies, laboratories/diagnostic services) Run on a regular schedule Record data about the farmer, location and problem Provide a mechanism by which new and emerging pests can be detected (surveillance) Provide a mechanism for reaching farmers with other key messages about plant health
9 How the clinics work (farmer point of view) Free at the point of use Set up at local meeting places, such as markets Farmers bring a sample into the plant clinic They receive a diagnosis and a prescription (recommendation) from a trained plant doctor giving practical treatment advice Plant clinic, DR Congo

35 Future Directions for Collaboration between IPPC and Plantwise Plantwise Policy Statements U. Kuhlmann, April 2013
36 Opportunities for IPPC PW Collaboration Plantwise can be an important contributor to the mission of the IPPC Feedback from the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures will help to ensure that PW responds to the needs of it constituents Side event is intended to serve as a forum to discuss on how PW can help to support the NPPO activities and the mission of IPPC
37 Policy Statements Clarify the Plantwise stance on three key issues (currently), including international conventions, regulations and standards relevant to plant protection, biodiversity and the environment Tackle the following topics: publishing pest reports use of plant clinic data use of pesticides use
38 Policy Statements Pest Reporting within the country National Plant Protection Organisations (NPPOs) have the key responsibility of reporting the occurrence, outbreak and spread of pests in the area for which they are responsible (ISPM 17) under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Plantwise facilitates the reporting of potential new pests to the official IPPC contact point within the NPPO Where in-country diagnostic services have limited capacity, specimens may be sent to a laboratory outside the country, in concurrence with the NPPO
39 Policy Statements Pest Reports from the public domain Plantwise offers IPPC contact points and other interested parties an alerting service which sends subscribers information on their country or the world The NPPO may challenge a pest report at any time and its status on the Plantwise knowledge bank will be changed (deleted or otherwise updated) in the light of supporting evidence, referencing the NPPO correspondence
40 Policy Statements Use of Plant Clinic Data CABI recognises the value of scientific data but also the potential sensitivity of some of this information and so has created two sections of the knowledge bank, one that is access-controlled and one open-access. The national responsible organisation decides the level of access. Access-controlled --- only selected employees from partner organisations, relevant in-country government bodies and CABI can view the material deposited Open-access --- clinic data is freely available for research, teaching, and for wider exploitation for the public good, by individuals, government, business and other organisations
41 Policy Statements Use of Plant Clinic Data (continued) CABI will only use access-controlled data to: Support quality control of the clinics Support data management, validation and analysis Prepare analyses and reports for donors or incountry government bodies Demonstrate Plantwise to potential partners within the target country Undertake research for the improvement of the KB and associated offering Prepare generalised reports where the data cannot be identified as coming from a specific country
42 Future Directions for IPPC CABI Collaboration Collaboration on pest reporting Sharing knowledge and contact points Secondment of a CABI staff at the IPPC Secretariat Establishment of an IPPC-CABI technical working group CABI has recently offered 40,000 to support the IPPC in implementing its Phytosanitary Capacity Evaluation (PCE)
43 Thank you LOSE LESS, FEED MORE
44 Policy statements Use of pesticides Plant doctors are advised to give advice that follows the principles of Integrated Pest Management Where the use of pesticides is unavoidable, only locally-registered pesticides are recommended Pesticides that are subject to international restrictions should not be recommended Advice should keep pesticide usage to the lowest effective level and ensure minimal risk to human health and the environment
45 Policy Statements Use of Pesticides Plantwise facilitates the development and distribution of information resources/tools (e.g. pest management decision guides) to support the implementation of IPM
46 Policy Statements Use of Pesticides (continued) Within the knowledge bank and other Plantwise information resources, all references to internationallyrestricted pesticides are avoided
47 Plant health management in Nepal Yubak Dhoj G. C., PhD Program Director Ministry of Agricultural Development Nepal Harihar Bhawan yubakgc@yahoo.com
48 Nepalese Agriculture Predominantly an agricultural country, 65.5% Major contribution in GDP: 42% Considerable scope: Increasing food production Un acceptable losses of biotic and abiotic factors: 30-35% Majority of growers: illiterate No or low attention on plant health improvement Formidable challenges in meeting food safety rules and standards
49 Scientists Research Techniques Solutions Plant Clinics Crop Losses Farmers Lack of Guidance
50 Some Reasons for the Rapid Adoption of Plant Clinics: clinics are seen as the missing link between farmers and expert institutions extension workers are able to reach more farmers in short time and at low cost farmer demand is captured directly at the clinics clinics are vehicles for dissemination of IPM technologies clinics help their communities stay alert to new diseases and emerging epidemics, and valuable synergies can be created between actors of the healthcare system
51 Plant Clinics under Plantwise-Nepal Partnership Plant clinics initiated through Global Plant Clinic in 2008 Conducted mobile and permanent clinics with Government and NGOs Plantwise launched in 2012 by CABI South Asia India Partnership established with agreements (involving Government i.e. MoAD, Academia and NGOs) 71 persons trained on different modules 18 clinics conducted started at different districts of Nepal 28 fact sheets produced, data collection in process Very encouraging response from farmers Plan to involve extension and IPM programmes for upscaling by the Government in coming years
52 Importance of plant clinics Awareness Direct help to growers Gathers demand (for control) and supplies technologies Stimulates new networks, improves collaboration How plant health clinics work Surveillance of diseases Strengthening farmers with healthy crops Crop Management 6
53 Results so far Kick start, 2008/09: CABI Initial emphasis: Capacity building Systematic penetration in GoN : 2011 by PPD and CABI India Module I Training : January 2011, PPD and CABI India Module II: April 2012 (PPD) Module II: January 2012, PPD and local experts, 25 Officers Module II: August 2012: PPD and CABI, Plantwise, 30 participants Module III: September 2012, PPD and CABI Plantwise, 30 participants

55 Implementing Plantwise in Nepal Elementary Step Secondary Step Technical Step Plant Health System Studying about the crop- pest scenario Capacity building of plant protection officers Linking clinics to diagnostic labs Trained capacity available for National Plant Health System Discussion with NPPO and match mandates with Government priority areas Practical trainings on diagnosis and conducting clinics Scientific backstopping and validation of data Linking diagnostic labs to backstop clinics Layout plan for working in Nepal with Government of Nepal Conducting clinics as frontline workers in dealing with farmers Feed the validated in Knowledge bank Embedding plant clinics in Government system
56 Lessons learnt Poor knowledge on plant problem diagnosis skills Advisory services: pesticide dealers Seeking cure without sample diagnosis Control measures: On guess Result: losses in production, monetary value, non-target effects of chemical Plant clinic: Lately introduced CABI: great support in capacity building and clinical activities Government involvement: lately Plant clinics: Important components of IPM and food security Serve as a channel for communicating with farmers on emerging pest problems
57 Future needs: Capacity building of the Govt staff, farmers, input dealers Functional role: Govt (strength of infrastructure and human resources) Supportive role: Research, Teaching Institutes and Private organization Support: External (CABI and multi-partners association) Government role: Streamlining and scaling up Greater emphasis to the program-regularization

59 IMPLEMENTATION OF PLANTWISE IN SIERRA LEONE I. M. O. SHAMIE Director of Crops (MAFFS)
60 HOW IT STARTED
61 Organisation Who is involved? National authority MAFFS/Crops Division/Crop Protection Services Regional Coordination District Crop Protection offices MAFFS /Projects/ District Councils Clinic implementation MAFFS Crop Protection Officers NATC/Njala University/FBC/ GAFSP/COOPI/IITA
62 Partnership between Plantwise & the NPPO National responsible organisation for Plantwise = the NPPO Plant doctors are extension agents working for the MAFFS Plant doctors support general surveillance activities: o Part of the national Early Warning System (EWS) o Clinic reports are collected and sent to Crop Protection Services HQ Phytosanitary services alerts plant doctors of emerging issues Plant doctors hold meetings with the communities to raise awareness about emerging issues.
63 Results so far 36 clinics providing advice to farmers in 13 districts MAFFS signed a Partnership Statement and Data Sharing Agreement with PW Plantwise activities included in MAFFS, Crop Protection Services and the Sierra Leone Agriculture Research Institute (SLARI), NATC Njala staff, District Agricultural Officers annual performance contracts. Staff appointed in MAFFS with new ToRs to coordinate PW activities and data processing.
64 Crops Division has also signed MoU with GAFSP of the SCP/CAADP to establish 50 plant clinics at the ABCs MAFFS in collaboration with the District Councils to provide funds for running plant clinics. NATC staff have started running plant clinics to encourage students to become interested in PW activities. Recommendations have been made to NATC/Njala University to incorporate plant doctor training into their curriculum. PW has established a Sierra Leone specific knowledge bank website
65 Lessons learnt Communication between plant health stakeholders is key. nstitutionalisation of plant clinics by the MAFFS is critical for sustainability Champions at all levels of operation an ingredient for success Partners realizing PW role in facilitating their success builds enthusiasm for participation Need to be ready to respond to increased demand
66 Next steps Identifying 25 ABCs for locating plant clinics, and training of 50 plant doctors for running of the new clinics Link plant clinics with newly established Agricultural Business Centres at 48 sites across the country Further strengthen the plant clinic data management process Using data from clinics to identify major pests Developing extension materials such as pest management decision guides to support plant doctors as they give advice
67 Key message Plantwise activities complement IPPCrelated activities o Plant clinic data support pest surveillance o The clinics build farmers confidence on the services provided by MAFFS and a link for communicating on emerging pest problems.
68 THANK YOU
69 PLANTWISE ACTIVITIES IN TANZANIA Mkondo, Cornelius Fabian Assistant Director, Plant Health Services Plantwise Activities in Tz started immediately after the inception w/shop held in April 2012
70 Launching of Plantwise program in Tanzania in 2012: Support from policy makers must be sought
71 OBJECTIVES OF PLANT CLINICS To transfer knowledge for smallholder farmers It is therefore a community based approach that empowers farmers to take field level decision in managing pests To enable farmers lose less of their crops and therefore feed more people For Tanzania, the approach is in line with Integrated Pest Management, a national policy in plant protection Early detection of pest incidences leads to minimum use of pesticides, therefore saving cost (profitability factor) and minimize pesticide impact on the environment and human health
72 Activities after the w/shop CAPACITY BUILDING OF THE EXISTING EXTENSION SYSTEM Training of Plant Doctors Distribution of plant clinics materials Establishment of Plant clinics Running of Plant Clinics
73 Activities after the w/shop Follow up and technical back stopping of plant clinics activities Development of fact sheets Preparation of G & Y list for plant clinics Debriefing MAFS activities of plant clinics Review and planning Plantwise meetings
74 Plant clinics testing requires working toolkit eg dissecting kits
75 Plantwise partner & stakeholder w/shop to review progress & achievements of the 2012 & Planning of Plantwise activities for 2013
76 Plantwise Partners & Stakeholders involvement in running of Plant Clinic: Awareness creation to councilors (Local Govt policy makers)
77 Achievements More than 500 farmers are aware of the new Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease in Africa which was reported for the first time in Kenya. Plant Clinics has created more demand fo rimproved extension services delivery especially outreach It is a motivation for extension agents to serve farmers Plant clinics is a means to link farmers with research and extension It has drawn support from Local Governments for a possibility of future financial support
78 Challenges Limited capacity to meet increasing demand from farmers Limited resources to train more plant doctors and acquire associated tools Further increase awareness of policy makers esp local governments Lack of reliable means of transport for effective outreach
79 Target for 2013 To train 24 more plant doctors before July 2013 To establish 12 more plant clinics in Northern, Eastern and central zone Before July 2013 To do more awareness creation to the district authority in East and central zone before June 2013
