    Africa Phytosanitary Programme 2024
    In Africa, the estimated crop damage by pests ranges from 30-60 percent or USD 65.5 billion annually. By building the resilience of their phytosanitary systems, countries can prevent the entry or spread of pests in their territories.This brochure describes the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), an initiative through which the IPPC Secretariat is supporting countries in Africa, through their national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to use digital tools to strengthen their phytosanitary capacity to monitor, detect, respond, and prevent plant pests, particularly pests affecting agricultural commodities of trade and economic significance. The IPPC is working in collaboration with the African Union Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy, and Sustainable Environment. The pilot phase of APP is underway, involving 11 African countries, and a vision to support more countries in five years. The brochure gives an overview of the project and an update on the project's progress.
