    This is the fact-sheet of an e-learning course that introduces key concepts related to pest surveillance, pest status determination and pest reporting, particularly as it relates to new pest detections and emerging pests. It will provide practical guidance to assist National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) in strengthening their national surveillance systems and surveillance activities to support early pest detection, pest monitoring and pest status determination. It will also provide specific guidance to help NPPOs to develop a national reporting system for reporting the occurrence, outbreak and spread of pests.

    Building Capacity on Pest Prevention and Control, and Ability to Respond to Outbreaks of Major Pests in Nigeria - MTF/NIR/074/BMG 2025
    Also available in:

    Crop production is one of the largest global food industries and is highly vulnerable to climactic shifts. This seriously threatens agricultural productivity, especially in developing regions like Africa. The changes in temperature and other climatic factors are accelerating the prevalence and distribution of insect pests, enabling their survival during overwintering, increasing the number of their generations, and facilitating invasive outbreaks. In Nigeria, these challenges pose a dual threat, namely significant crop losses, which disrupt economies, and food insecurity, which affects millions of livelihoods. This project sought to address these critical challenges by identifying gaps in Nigeria’s current pest early warning systems (EWS), and using lessons from globally effective systems to design a functional and place-based system for the country.
