The results show that the most important strengths of Locust management in Egypt are: the presence of trained technical and research staff in Locust operations management, and the existence of an emergency plan for rapid intervention in emergencies. Whereas among the most important weaknesses: lack of attention to the scale of the problem and the real appreciation of the Locust accelerates the aggravation of the crisis, insufficient and efficient additional teams of untrained human and human resources in cases of upsurges and invasions.
