Regional programs / Africa regional project 625-0517 · 1986–1997 · agriculture · Tropical Research and Development, Inc.
PACR of Mauritania activities of two regional projects to implement emergency locust/grasshopper control measures and related disaster relief and institution-building efforts: the Africa Emergency Locust/Grasshopper Assistance Project (AELGA, 6980517, implemented 3/88-6/90) and the Africa Emergency Locust project (6250517, implemented 6/87-6/88 and then combined with AELGA). In Mauritania, the projects focused on providing TA, short-term operational training, commodities, and institutional support for aerial and ground survey and control activities. The primary planned output, to assist the Mauritanian National Crop Protection Service (CPS) in rapidly suppressing crop-destroying grasshoppers and locusts, was accomplished. During 1988, over 900,000 ha were treated with powder and/or liquid pesticides, and the CPS reported in 3/89 that sorghum, corn, and vegetable crops were out of danger and maturing favorably. The projects also assisted CPS in planning for future grasshopper and locust outbreaks. The program's success was attributed to the combined efforts of many actors, including the Mauritanian military in treatment and survey activities, and Peace Corps volunteers in survey
