Descripción
The Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region (CRC) has been active since 1967, providing assistance to member countries. The commission’s role is to strengthen cooperation and coordination between member states. It supports the strategy of prevention to detect early signs of desert locust populations. The strategy aims to improve the performance of the national Desert Locust Units of member countries to enable better monitoring, prevention, early detection, and effective and timely control of transboundary desert locust. In 2022, CRC focused on building national and regional capacity for controlling the desert locust, especially after the latest upsurge (2019–2022). To this end, CRC provided training, workshops and meetings to obtain qualified personnel for survey, control operations, maintenance, environment, health and safety and campaign management. This report summarizes all activities taken place in 2022, highlighting efforts made and achievements gained as well as updates on the desert locust situation in the Central Region. Additionally, a remarkable cooperation has been established with the Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Western Region (CLCPRO), supporting the coordination and information and experience exchange.
