    Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are regularly afflicted by three locust pests, the Italian Locust, the Migratory Locust and the Moroccan Locust. During outbreaks, these locust pests attack crops and rangelands and cause severe damage, thus jeopardizing food security, economy and livelihoods of the rural populations. In this context, the Project for Improvement of Locust Management (Phase 2) was signed in late July 2020 between FAO and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to the benefit of the six Central Asian countries. This five-year project is expected to provide substantial support for improving locust management through regional cooperation and strengthening of technical capacities on a wide range of topics. While the immediate beneficiaries are the national services in charge of locust management, the ultimate beneficiaries of the assistance will be the rural populations living in the locust-affected. The project is part of the multi-funded and interregional FAO “Programme to improve national and regional locust management in Caucasus and Central Asia”. This document includes the project executive summary with a view of posting it on the FAO website “Locust Watch in CCA”, where the summaries of other projects contributing to the overall Programme are seemingly available.
