Descripción
As new pests continue to enter through various pathways, the Greater Caribbean Region presents a significant high risk to the United States. In our efforts to reduce this risk, it becomes essential to work towards mitigating the risk offshore. In July 2018, the USDA-APHIS-PPQ (United States Department of Agriculture/ Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service/ Plan Protection and Quarantine) formalized the Greater Caribbean Safeguarding Initiative (GCSI), a United States of America national programme which seeks to strengthen APHIS' partnership with countries in the GCR for the ongoing regional development of offshore pest detection and control activities for the benefit of the GCR.
Objetivo General:
To strengthen safeguarding efforts, in order to increase technical capacity, resources and develop long-term sustainability, within the GCR, to harmonize and regionalize mitigation capabilities that ultimately strengthens and enhances the United States mitigation and safeguarding efforts.
Objetivos Específicos:
  1. Utilize CPHD and GCSI networks to strengthen monitoring frameworks and reporting mechanisms that result in an effective region-wide system to support advanced and timely notifications of significant quarantine pests entering the Greater Caribbean Region (GCR).
  2. Develop and deploy effective strategies, aligned with international standards and risk analysis, with regional partners to identify and address high-risk pathways with the potential to move pest of quarantine significance into and within the GCR.
  3. Build on existing frameworks to develop a comprehensive, and scalable, regional emergency response and recovery plan that strives to support the joint response capability of the NPPO, CPHD, GCSI, and other regional partners.
  4. Maximize the GCSI and CPHD networks to achieve an expanded and effective network that results in the sharing and dissemination of timely information, leverages collaboration, coordination, and outreach opportunities among U.S. entities and external regional partners –in alignment with GCSI operational goals.
  5. Identify, categorize and increase the resources available to support the GCSI.
Resultados Esperados:
  1. Functional CPHD Tuta absoluta Committee of Experts Working Group/Action Committee
  2. A robust CPHD Regional Early Warning and Surveillance Network for Priority Pest of Mutual Concern
  3. Increased sensitization and expansion of CPHD’s network through targeted publications and strategic virtual outreach initiatives/trainings
  4. Maintained CPHD Digital Tools for an Improved Safeguarding System for/in the Greater Caribbean Region
  5. Successful hosting of the 16th Annual Meeting of the Caribbean Plan Health Directors Forum
  6. Strengthened Capacity of National Emergency Response Systems in the Greater Caribbean Region
