dc.descriptionIn arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas of member states of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), inhabitants depend on land health and productivity, water and vegetation cover, as more than 70 percent of the population derives its livelihood from natural resources. These resources are threatened by Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought (DLDD), which, combined with human activity and environmental changes, cause soil loss, alterations in natural habitats and ecosystems, losses in biodiversity and a reduction in natural buffers to droughts and floods. This project was formulated to tackle desertification as a means of increasing the sustainable management of vital natural resources, combating hunger and improving resilience to climate change in eight OACPS member countries (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Gambia, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal in Africa, Haiti in the Caribbean and Fiji in the Pacific). Thanks to a joint effort of The African Union Commission (AUC), the European Union, FAO and the Secretariat of the OACPS, the Action Against Desertification (AAD) project assisted beneficiary countries in contributing to the goals of their respective national action plans to combat desertification and in meeting their commitments to large-scale international conventions to restore degraded land.
