A Systems Approach integrates at least two measures that are independent of each other to achieve sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) management. Implementing a Systems Approach can improve export opportunities and can provide an equivalent alternative to procedures such as treatments or replace more restrictive measures like prohibition.

Join this STDF and World Bank Group webinar to learn more about the concept of Systems Approaches and to hear about specific case stories that describe the challenges and opportunities of implementing a system.

The session will include an open dialogue with the panelists to further explore the benefits and challenges of systems approaches.
