Grant Description
On June 10, 2020, the Chinese Government donated 20 tons anti-locust pesticides, sprayers, and protective gear to Uganda's Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries.
About a month earlier, swarms of locusts began pouring into Uganda from neighboring Kenya, and Uganda had deployed over 2,000 soldiers and more than 800 civilians to fight against the pests.
The shipment consisted of 20 tons of the pesticide Malathion (10 tons of the ULV variety, 10 tons of EC), 500 backpack mist dusters, 500 handheld ULV sprayers, 2,000 sets of medical coveralls, 2,000 medical protective masks, and 2,000 pairs of gloves.
The Desert Locust Control Organization of East Africa (DLCO-EA) and the Uganda People's Defense Forces (UPDF) are carrying out spraying operations against the locusts. Although this donation has reached completion, spraying efforts do not appear to have ended.
