This document discusses a monitoring system for preventing Desert Locust outbreaks in West Africa. The system is meant to track the monitoring activities of national locust units and help coordinate regional response. It uses a simple web-based interface to allow national units to submit surveillance data and for officials to access updates. However, the long-term sustainability of the system depends on national units consistently providing updates, as interest in locust monitoring often wanes between outbreaks when the problem is not immediate.
