Mali: Cadre de gestion du risque acridien (CGRA) 2011

The Locust Risk Management Framework (CGRA) is made up of two specific plans: the Locust Risk Prevention Plan (PPRA) and the National Anti-Locust Emergency Plan (PNUA). The Locust Risk Prevention Plan (PPRA) consists of organizing “The preventive fight against the Desert Locust consists of regularly monitoring seasonal breeding areas (gregarious areas), locating and destroying, through one-off treatments on limited areas, the first populations which can lead to gregarization, and consequently, to the formation of hopper bands and swarms.

As for the National Anti-Locust Emergency Plan (PNUA), its purpose is to plan, organize and coordinate national or even supranational means to deal with a locust crisis situation when those of the PPRA prove insufficient. Its implementation is entrusted to interministerial crisis management and the National Command Post (PCN), which includes the Ministries involved in crisis management and the associated Partners (national institutions and supranational institutions).
