    Since its establishment in 1967, the CRC’s primary mission has been to coordinate and support the efforts of its member countries in monitoring, forecasting, and controlling desert locust infestations. To effectively combat these infestations, the CRC places a strong emphasis on research and development by investing in scientific studies. In this regard, the CRC actively supports and encourages all research activities focused on improving early warning and rapid intervention systems, implementing environmentally friendly control methods, studying the impacts of climate change and socio-economic factors, and introducing new technologies for locust control.
