Emergency Locust Response Project
The development objective of the Emergency Locust Response Project (ELRP) for Eastern Africa is to respond to the threat posed by the locust outbreak and to strengthen systems for preparedness. The project comprises of five components. The first component, surveillance and control measures will strengthen the capacity of agriculture staff at the national, state, and county levels and of communities in locust-affected areas by providing appropriate equipment, technology, and training on locust identification, swarm management techniques, and damage assessment.
