In view of the fact that control and management of IAPS is a complex process that requires a scientific approach and wide stakeholder participation, the approach to the strategy development has to be through a desk study (review of local, national, regional and international documents) and multi-stakeholder consultations in meetings and face to face interviews. The ultimate aim of the strategy should be to promote Cooperative, Coordinated & Integrated control and management of IAPS to reduce their ecological, economic and social impacts on human and natural resources. The review of recent national, regional and international publications and policies and legislation relevant to IAPS management, the synthesis of existing literature on the bio-ecology and invasion ecology of IAPS and possible control strategies and mechanical, chemical and biological treatment methods should form the basis of the desk study.
