The IYPH 2020 is a year-long observance with the theme, “Protecting Plant Health in a Changing World” and aims to raise global awareness on how plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, and protect biodiversity and the environment.

The launch took place as part of the Institute’s Research for Development (R4D) Week, and took into account the landmark contributions of the Institute in the area of plant health and agriculture in its over 50 years of research work in Africa.
