The specific objective of the first year of the Programme (i.e. from September 2013 to August 2014) is to stem the dynamics of the Malagasy Migratory Locust populations. The strategy will include identifying the hotspots of the locust populations, regularly monitoring these populations to establish accurate forecast and deploying and doing the best use of available control means according to good practices in agriculture, human health and the environment. -

Final Report September 2014 - August 2015
2016Also available in:
The current Malagasy Migratory Locust plague began in April 2012. Crops (mainly rice) and pastures were at risk of considerable damage from this locust plague, which could have had a significant negative impact on domestic supply and grain prices. In view of the scale of the plague, it was estimated that the food security of 13 million people (60 percent of the population) could be affected without large-scale locust control operations. To tackle this catastrophic situation, the Food and Agricul ture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) of Madagascar developed jointly a Three-year Emergency Programme in response to the plague in December 2012. -
