| 12. PROJECT LOCATION: (Describe the location of the project and its components.) |
|
|
| 13. PROJECT OBJECTIVE: (Describe the major purpose of the project.) |
|
˗ Create a forest bio-security network in South East Asia
˗ Develop the science tools needed to support and sustain this network
˗ Develop coordinated forest bio-security policies for South East Asia |
| 14. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: (Provide a description of the project and all its components.) |
|
1/ Create a forest bio-security network in South East Asia
2/ Develop the science tools needed to support and sustain this network
3/ Develop coordinated forest bio-security policies for South East Asia |
| 15. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: (Give reasons why this particular project is considered worthwhile.) |
|
Invasive pests and diseases threaten forest health and productivity worldwide (Wingfield et al. 2015) with developing countries the most vulnerable to their impacts and having the Lowest capacity to manage outbreaks (e.g. Paini et al. 2016). Increased trade, global movement and a changing climate increase the threat of emerging pests and diseases (Hurley et al. 2017). The capability to detect and respond to forest pest and disease incursions is crucial to minimizing their impacts. In SE Asia, this capacity varies widely among countries, but there is a general lack of preparedness to respond to invasive pests and diseases. A coordinated, strengthened forest bio-security capacity in SE Asia is therefore critical to the future of the region’s forests |
| 16. BENEFITS (Who will benefit, directly and indirectly, from the project?) |
|
The key impact of the project will be the establishment of a sustainable forest health and bio-security network for SE Asia. The network will assist in safeguarding planted and native forests from potential pest and disease threats by enhancing bio-security preparedness and response capability to ultimately benefit industry, government and rural communities by improving productivity and security of forests. Outcomes include:
• Threat of key exotic and endemic insect pests and pathogens reduced by research and training in surveillance and reporting, risk assessment and diagnostics for researchers, forestry officers and industry and smallholder growers.
• Risk of establishment and spread of exotic and native pests and diseases is reduced through implementation of FHS and HRSS methodologies in partner countries.
• Entry pathways, risk of spread and potential impact on production and native forests of potential pest and disease threats to SE Asia and Australia identified and reviewed.
• Enhanced stakeholder awareness of forest biosecurity and pest and disease management options.
• Increased awareness of biosecurity preparedness amongst plant protection and quarantine agencies.
• Increased adoption of monitoring and surveillance activities by stakeholders.
• Enhanced coordination of bio-security protocols and practices between regional and national departments (in-country) and between national agencies (between-country) |
| 17. FEASIBILITY STUDY |
|
Is a "Feasibility Study " for the Project requied?
|
| 18. SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: (Briefly describe the effects of the project, if any, on the people and the surrounding environment. Will the project assist in alleviating poverty?) |
|
The project has no detrimental impacts on local communities and environment. Notwithstanding, the project has provided huge benefits to partners in South East Asia through capacity building. |
| 19. CLIMATE CHANGE |

| 20. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION |
|
Is any activity or output of the project related to Disaster Risk Reduction?
|
|
If Yes, please indicate
|
| 21. GENDER ANALYSIS: (How does the project affect the roles of the men and women in the project area? Will women be actively involved in the implementation of the project?) |
|
Establishment of an effective and sustainable forest bio-security network for the region is the primary outcome of the project. If this is successfully achieved the project's emphasis on promoting equal roles in the network for women will mean that there is a strong likelihood that these roles for women will be sustained across the network after the completion of this research. Capacity strengthening is an important focus of this project and the improved skills and capacities of women developed during the project will continue to be applied following project completion. |
| 22. CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT: (Does the Ministry have the skills and experience required to implement the project?) |
|
Project implementation officers have sufficient skills, abilities and experience to implement the project.
|
| 23. STATUS OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION: (Provide a brief update on the progress of the project to date. Discuss any major problems causing delays in project implementation.) |
|
The project has been started early 2022 as result below
- Discussion on separate tasks between FA and GDA about field work and lap.
- To cooperate with partners the protocols development in relation with project tasks
- To develop mapping with Acacia sSp, Eucalyptus sSp and Pine sSp for field work. |
