    Also available in:

    The Commission’s role is to strengthen the cooperation and coordination between member states. It supports the strategy of prevention to detect early signs of gregarious locust populations, and rapid intervention to eliminate dangerous locust infestations before they can cause damage to crops. In this regard, its focus is on human and institutional capacity building and preservation, and the introduction of up-to-date locust monitoring and control technologies. Based on that the Commission produces fact sheets designed to keep the member countries, and other interested parties informed of current activities, new developments and achievements. The flyer will focus on the role of the Commission to support member states to manage and control Desert Locust.

    Annual report highlighting progress in controlling the desert locust in the central region, 2022 2024
    Also available in:

    The Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region (CRC) has been active since 1967, providing assistance to member countries. The commission’s role is to strengthen cooperation and coordination between member states. It supports the strategy of prevention to detect early signs of desert locust populations. The strategy aims to improve the performance of the national Desert Locust Units of member countries to enable better monitoring, prevention, early detection, and effective and timely control of transboundary desert locust. In 2022, CRC focused on building national and regional capacity for controlling the desert locust, especially after the latest upsurge (2019–2022). To this end, CRC provided training, workshops and meetings to obtain qualified personnel for survey, control operations, maintenance, environment, health and safety and campaign management. This report summarizes all activities taken place in 2022, highlighting efforts made and achievements gained as well as updates on the desert locust situation in the Central Region. Additionally, a remarkable cooperation has been established with the Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Western Region (CLCPRO), supporting the coordination and information and experience exchange.
