The role of the Commission is to assist member countries to manage and prevent Desert Locust, and to prepare for and respond to emergencies caused by it.

The CRC concentrates on integrated approaches that:

• support the development, sharing and adaptation of preventive control strategies, explore approaches for assessing impact, vulnerability, adaptation and planning, and focus on economic, institutional and financing issues;
• create enabling frameworks for economically and environmentally sound control products that embody resource use efficiency, diversification, accessibility and mitigation of the negative impacts of conventional insecticides.
