Islamic Republic of Iran (N. Heidari) and PAN AP (S. Rengam) / IFCS/FSC WG IVP & IPM/04
Forum VI Plenary Programme
Version 2/ FINAL Draft
12 February 2008
Topic: IPM and IVM
Thursday, 18 September 2008 10h00 – 13h00
Plenary session structure (format, presentations, time)
Length of sessions: 180 minutes
The Forum Standing Committee requested the WG to consider the number of planned presentations. As it is difficult to limit complex topics to 15 minutes, the proposed number of presentations may be too many to allow sufficient time for discussion and achieve the objectives of the session.PAN has informed the secretariat that it plans to organize a side event on IPM. Perhaps a number of the desired presentations can be accommodated at the side event as alternate to the plenary programme.
UNEP/GEF has informed the secretariat that it together with WHO and the Stockholm Convention secretariat will organize a side event on DDT and its alternatives.
Organization of session: introduction/general principles followed by seven or eight (7 or 8) presentations of 15 minutes each, with 45 minutes for plenary discussion.
Each presenter will be asked to submit an abstract (1 page) highlighting the key items in his/her presentation. The abstracts will be compiled and made available as a room paper together with the official Forum VI meeting documents.
Proposed plenary programme:
Presentation of general principles of IVM and IPM (which are similar)
State of implementation of IVM and further potential (3 presentations)
State of implementation of IPM and further potential (3 presentations)
Discussion
Plenary presentations will address the following areas:
-Overview on existing programmes to promote IVM and IPM including best practices and rolesof different sectors
-Identifying and addressing institutional and policy impediments
-Knowledge management and gaps in knowledge
-Emerging issues and challenges
-Ways and means to broaden use of IVM
-Ways and means to broaden use of IPM
-New developments: initial findings of a pilot project to combine IVM with IPM in acommunity based approach
-Capacity challenges for implementation at different levels (eg. government, farmers, industry)
Implementation of IVM and IPM will face issues, challenges and opportunities that vary depending on the stage of a country's development (developed countries, developing countries and countries in economic transition). Each of the presenters will be asked to address these differences that need to be taken into account.
Note:
- Proposed presenters except as noted have not been contacted to determine interest and availability;
- Individuals will make a presentation on one topic only;
- Following IFCS guidelines and procedures, invited speakers will be requested to travel at own cost or to find his/her own support from an external source; requests to IFCS for travel support from speakers from developing countries or countries in economic transition will be considered on a case by case basis.
