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
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
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)
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
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
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
Information flow Diagnosis, support, advice

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
