NewsletterFAO Nigeria Newsletter, March 2021 - Issue #3 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This is a third edition of FAO Nigeria e-newsletter covering the period of Jan - March 2021. In this issue, you will read about how our Rainy Farming Season support in the northeast part of the country is helping the communities affected by the decade-long insurgency to resettle. We are also excited to see that the Federal Government is pleased with the Cadre Harminse (CH) exercise and that it has approved its extension to all the states in the country. This is good step for getting the real picture of food security and nutrition in the country for appropriate actions. Besides, although the March 2021 CH results show slight improvements in some northeast Nigeria areas, there is a still a need to take immediate action to address the situation before it worsens. During this time too, Nigeria started the Food Systems Summit dialogues and many more are expected to take place in the country ahead of the UN’s Global Food Systems Summit in September this year. Please read on for these and more reports including the visits by the FAO Representative to Ondo and Cross River States with the aim of strengthening partnerships for ensuring improved food security, nutrition and sustainable natural resources management, and the 2021 International Day of Forests celebrations in Nigeria -

NewsletterFall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter, March 2022 - Issue #8 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Fall Armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest originating in the Americas: it can fly over 100 km per day; it feeds on over 80 hosts; and a female moth can deposit 1 000 eggs during its life. Challenges in mitigating FAW damage include, among others, lack of the following: coordination at global, regional and national levels; effective monitoring and control techniques; and effective phytosanitary measures and capacity at national level. The Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control (GA, 2020-2022) was launched by FAO Director-General QU Dongyu on 4 December 2019 with a mandate for a strong and coordinated approach to strengthen prevention and sustainable pest control capacities. The GA focuses on Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Near East, where an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy will be implemented in countries with significant pest presence, and a prevention strategy will be conducted in areas with limited or no distribution of the pest. The GA has continued to support countries in managing FAW throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting webinars and virtual trainings on FAW monitoring and management and by implementing activities where possible.
