Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a dangerous transboundary insect with a high potential to spread rapidly due to its natural distribution capacity and opportunities presented by international trade. FAW represents a real threat to food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. FAW has spread across all of sub-Saharan Africa, the Near East and Asia. In response, TCP projects contributing more than $13 million to date have been operational across the most affected areas. The immediate response through TCP and presence on the ground has so far catalyzed additional donor support for a total value of USD19.2 million on top of what has been invested by countries themselves.
