Page 18 Countries and regional organizations report to FAO on the Desert Locust situation and FAO provides update reports and forecasts to all affected countries, donors and other international institutions. Donors and affected countries depend on FAO for technical advice, information and coordination. Success is highly dependent, therefore, on a strong technical and scientific leadership. An addition to its Technical Working Group, consultants and expert panels (Pesticides Referee Panel, Research Advisory Panel) are also utilized.
FAO called emergency meetings for donors and affected countries and reinstated steering committees for local officials and local representatives of FAO and donors to coordinate aid requests. Creaking infrastructures that had been streamlined during the long recession could not respond to sudden upsurges; institutional memories, which tend to be short, had lost much knowledge hard won in the 1950s and 1960s; retired but experienced personnel and consultants with little or no locust experience came to assist young plant protection specialists facing a plague for the first time.
In the final analysis, however, local capacity remains critical. Remote sensing tools are a complement to, but not a substitute for local staff, well-trained in locust control and the ability to generate, use, and interpret forecasts effectively (see Fig. 2).
