Progress report on the response in the Greater Horn of Africa and Yemen, May–August 2021
2021Also available in:
No results found.The fight against desert locust continues in the Greater Horn of Africa and Yemen, now raging for 20 months – since January 2020. Collective efforts from governments, FAO and partners are proving extremely effective in controlling this upsurge, which is the worst to hit the region in 70 years. Thanks to generous contributions from 29 partners, in addition to FAO’s own resources, close to USD 220 million have been mobilized towards FAO’s desert locust appeal for the Greater Horn of Africa and Yemen as of the end of August 2021. This represents 95 percent of the resources needed to continue the operation until the first quarter of 2022. -

No results found.When an emergency or humanitarian crisis strikes, there is a high likelihood that children’s lives will be negatively affected, modifying their role within the household and the community. Since the beginning of 2020, a serious and widespread desert locust upsurge continues to threaten crops and pasture across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, and the livelihoods of more than 20 million people. Further affected countries are Eritrea, Djibouti, Pakistan, Oman, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, the Sudan, Uganda and Yemen, where more than half of the population are children. This technical brief offers ways in which coordination between desert locust control operations actors, partners, line ministries and community members can include child protection in the implementation of desert locust response plans and interventions. -

No results found.A devastating desert locust upsurge has spread across parts of the Near East, the Greater Horn of Africa and South West Asia in 2020–2021, posing risks to livelihoods and food security in the region.

This report showcases the second phase of the real-time evaluation, in which the following issues have been investigated: i) country-level results from case studies; ii) management and operational processes; and iii) extent to which lessons from countries and regions are transferred to other contexts. Six priority areas emerged from this process: i) country-level training and capacity development; ii) national locust control and architecture; iii) procurement; iv) pesticide management; v) livelihoods support; and vi) innovation and learning.
