Desert Locust Hazard

Pest infestations are a major threat and the IGAD sub-region is plagued by large numbers of pests, including weeds and crop diseases. While the predictability of Desert Locust outbreaks is improving, significant constraints are encountered in its control, including weak control services necessitating a crisis management approach, and insecurity in breeding areas affected by conflict. Other migratory pests such as armyworms and Quelea Quelea birds are also threats to the region.
