Study of NAP to Combat Desertification in Chad

Desertification refers to the process of land §degradation that results from various factors in §arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid §areas.Characterized by climate variability, these §lands sustain pastoralists and small-scale farmers, §but are susceptible to desertification as a result §of increasing human population, inappropriate §government land-use policies, settlement, climate §change, deforestation, expropriation of rangelands, §land clearance, overgrazing,political instability §and §poverty.§This work is founded on the principle that solutions §for the problem of desertification and drought §should emanate from the affected dry land §populations, supported by partnerships with other §concerned players, both national and §international.These solutions and supporting §partnerships are undertaken within the National §Action Programmes(NAP) process as the main §instrument for the implementation of the Convention §for Combatin Desertification at the national level.§I hope this work could be a solution for land §degredation and desertification control around the §world and specially in my country.§With peace and enthousiam for Chad.§Thanks again for all.
