GICSV COLLABORATION

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The InterAmerican Coordinating Group in Plant Health (GICSV, acronym in Spanish) brings together the Regional Plant Protection Organizations (RPPOs) of the Americas – NAPPO, OIRSA, CAN and COSAVE. The Caribbean RPPO will be joining soon. The Technical Secretariat of the GICSV is managed by IICA. The GICSV work program centers on issues of common concern to GICSV members. Each RPPO nominates subject matter experts or observers from the NPPOs of their member countries to serve as GICSV Working Group members. The main objective of these WGs is to share information and latest developments on these topics from their region.
