Regional Surveillance and Monitoring Platform

Stakeholders need to know where FAW is, or will be soon, and at what levels it is present – to make sound management decisions.

Project Description

​

Without a good understanding of FAW biology, movement and infestation levels it can be easy to feel like one is stuck in a ma(i)ze without any clear pathway out!
 
This project supports the development of surveillance and monitoring tools to help regional stakeholders better understand how to make proactive & SMART interventions to control FAW.
