Descripción
The African Migratory Locust (AML) outbreak was reported in Angola in 2020 in the south-eastern country in Cuando Cubango.
Angola established a Multisectorial Commission (MC) to coordinate the locust control and monitor activities. The MC is integrated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, FAO, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Administration of Territory, Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Environment, and Angola Army Forces. FAO Angola has been providing technical assistance to the technical working group coordinating actions.
Angola is a beneficiary of the Southern Africa Emergency Locust Response and Preparedness Project funded by FAO's Technical Cooperation Programme and the Government of Belgium. The project supports the technical assistance and procurement to deliver appropriate biopesticides, personnel protective equipment, specialized locust control equipment, and health monitoring material to strengthen the capacity of locust control units to implement timely ground operations. FAO provides equipment and materials to affected areas with the support of the National Air Force of Angola (FANA).
