Descripción
The scale-up note “Action against desertification” highlights the key results obtained through the strategic partnership with the University of Louvain in the areas of “Development of sustainable management and restoration of dryland forest and agrosilvopastoral systems” and “Statistics and monitoring” while targeting Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 11, 13 and 15.
Since 2013, the partners collaborated through the secondment of a scientific expert from UCLouvain to FAO’s dryland forestry programme – Action against desertification. Further results include the development of a project to monitor the locust habitat using the US MODIS satellite and the Belgian PROBA-V satellite; the establishment of an Earth Observation assisted national crop monitoring system; capacity development; activities focusing on research components of the Great Green Wall initiative; the generation of agricultural statistics through the use of data obtained from satellite observation; and the submission and publication of researches.
