The West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF) in partnership with ICRISAT, USAID, and the EU, organized a workshop to develop communication strategies to combat the fall armyworm (FAW) in West and Central Africa. The workshop brought together over 30 plant protection specialists and the Agriculture Minister of Cape Verde. ICRISAT's team focused on introducing a 'Communications Framework' for fall armyworm and integrated pest management, emphasizing the importance of effective communication for FAW management. The workshop underscored the need for sustainable management strategies, regional collaboration, and coordinated communication to provide farmers with the necessary IPM options and to ensure the dissemination of accurate and timely information to stakeholders.
