Synopsis (short abstract) After what humanity experienced during the covid-19 crisis and its repercussions on the world of work and the economy as well as on the habits of each other, the year 2022 was a year of relief and although the health crisis in the world of work has opened up new ways of working, it has also had an impact on the planning, coordination, and control of the various actions, requiring us to be able to adapt to continue to conduct our activities without interruption, which was the case for the CLCPRO Secretariat as well as for the national locust control units of the member countries. The CLCPRO celebrated its 20th anniversary this year during its joint statutory meeting of the 10th session and the 15th meeting of the Executive Committee. This event allowed us to celebrate our achievements, take stock of our actions and strengthen our ties, in the presence of the highest authorities of the member countries, which demonstrates their commitment, despite the period of calm.

The year 2022 was a year of relief and a breath of fresh air and although the health crisis in the world of work has opened up new ways of working, it has also had an impact on the planning, coordination, and control of the various actions, requiring of us a capacity to adapt in order to continue to conduct our activities without interruption, which was the case for the CLCPRO Secretariat as well as for the national locust control units of the member countries.

Fall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter, June 2021 - Issue #4 2021

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.
