Civil society organizations commitments for sustainable management of landscapes in drylands

The thematic stream session proposed by CARI will highlight the engagement of civil society in landscape and land management in drylands. More precisely this engagement of civil society will be shown through the results of the International Desertif'actions (D’a19) Summit, organized in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) in June 2019 by CARI, SPONG and UNCCD. D’a19 Summit enabled more than 300 representatives of the civil society to exchange on the sustainable management of the drylands, through its technical aspects (pastoralism, multi-uses and water governance, land governance), and political frameworks (UNCCD, Great Green Wall Initiative). Based on D’a19 recommendations, the thematic stream session will mobilize actors more widely on the defense of landscapes and lands in drylands and produce upgraded recommendations for the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework to be adopted in 2020 by the Convention on Biological Diversity.
