Asia Participation in IPM Week
Rome, 25-29 May 2009

National IPM Coordinators and FAO-IPM staff from Asia traveled to Rome to attend the IPM Week that was held at the FAO Headquarters from 25-29 May 2009. The activities included: (1) International Workshop on IPM and Marketing, 25-27 May, aimed at exploring better market access for IPM produce; (2) Global IPM Meeting, 28 May, aimed at exchange of information and fostering collaboration among Regional IPM Programmes; and (3) Global IPM Presentation, 29 May, aimed at updating FAO-HQ staff and Member Country Permanent Representatives on the latest Global IPM developments and their relevance to FAO’s new result-based Strategic Framework. A total of 25 countries (from the Near East, West Africa, East Africa and Asia regions) were represented in the IPM Week activities including eleven participants from the Regional Programme for Asia (coming from Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Laos, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and the Regional IPM Office). Participants from all IPM Programmes found it important to have periodic forums, such as the Global IPM Meeting, for sharing experiences and identified topics that would be useful to discuss, e.g., impact assessment, post-FFS activities, etc. The Presentation on the Global IPM Programme was followed by a poster exhibition on National IPM Programmes that also allowed attendees to talk with focal persons and national coordinators.

Participants were encouraged by comments from the Chairperson of FAO’s Committee on Agriculture and Turkey’s Permanent Representative to FAO who recognized the contributions and hard work of national coordinators and FAO field staff shaping FAO’s important role in the field through activities that directly benefit smallholder farmers across the Globe!
