Bi-Annual Regional Meeting for the FAO Vegetable IPM Programme
Bangkok, Thailand, 12-14 November 2008
Throughout Phase II of the FAO Inter-Country Programme to Strengthen IPM Training and Sustain IPM Practices among Vegetable Farmers in South and Southeast Asia, twice yearly meetings among project staff, national counterparts, and related organizations have been held in different member countries. Thailand hosted the last bi-annual meeting under Phase II of the Norway-supported project that took place in Bangkok. The activity was geared towards reviewing and summarizing the accomplishments over the past six years (2002-2008) of the farmer training programme on vegetable IPM. The meeting also coincided with the de-briefing of the Final Review Mission.
The overall objectives of this meeting were:
1. To share highlights of achievements and impact resulting from IPM FFS training interventions supported by the Phase II FAO Regional Vegetable IPM programme (2002-2008);
2. To present and discuss findings and recommendations of the Final Review Mission for the Phase II FAO Regional Vegetable IPM Programme;
 3. To strengthen regional networking on matters concerning IPM, Pesticide Risk Reduction and farmer education among nationals, partner organization representatives and FAO staff;
4. To assess needs, opportunities and mechanisms for continued regional IPM collaboration beyond the current life time of the Phase II FAO Asia Regional Vegetable IPM Programme.
The meeting was organized by staff of the Royal Thai Government’s Department of Agricultural Extension, Ministry of Agriculture and the FAO Regional Vegetable IPM Programme. There was a total of 25-30 participants, including two to three persons from each of the core Greater Mekong Sub-Region member countries (Cambodia, China, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam), 3-4 representatives from selected regional and donor organizations, resources persons and FAO Vegetable IPM Program staff. Partners from the Swedish Chemicals Agency and International NGO networks such as Pesticide Action Network – Asia Pacific and the Field Alliance, involved in the collaborative ongoing Pesticide Risk Reduction work in the Greater Mekong Subregion, were also invited to the meeting.
