Synopsis (short abstract) The independent evaluation of the second phase of EMPRES-RO programme was requested in 2017 by the member countries of the FAO Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Western Region (CLCPRO, Commission FAO de lutte contre le Criquet pèlerin dans la Région occidentale). It concluded that the Programme contributed to the sustainability of locust management in the region. In particular, this was reflected in the significant increase in member countries’ contributions to the Commission Trust Fund, in the development of management tools to facilitate the work of the national locust control units (NLCU), and in the establishment of the Regional Fund for Locust Risk Management and of the Intervention Force in the Western Region (FIRO- Force d’intervention dans la Région occidentale). More efforts are still necessary for the development and implementation of new technologies for locust management activities and for conducting operational research on alternative control methods and on the effects of climate change on locust dynamics.
