Desert locust master trainer manual

These Guidelines are resource documents containing information on best practice for locust detection, prediction and control, for use by national and international organisations and institutions involved in Desert Locust survey and control.

FAO encourages affected countries to disseminate this information as widely as possible to personnel involved with locusts so that it can be used to help make locust management safer and more efficient. This requires the development of a coherent national training strategy that will reach and influence staff at all levels from senior campaign managers to field officers, and to other stakeholders such as farmers and nomads who may assist with locust management activities.
