Continuous Surveillance. Carry out continuous surveillance of the locust situation to inform effective control operations and identification of affected and at-risk communities for assistance, including deployment of expert teams and drones for collection of data at strategic locations, reporting occurrences and possible occurrences of outbreaks, and assessing geographic exposure to locusts; and provision of support to community-based monitoring and forecasting in both pastoralist and farming communities prone to locust breeding and invasion (including training of scouts and sensitization campaigns for community/village leaders).
