En el marco de la Estrategia Decenal de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas de Lucha Contra la Desertificación y la Sequía (E-10/CNULD), Guinea Ecuatorial aprobó el presente Programa de Acción Nacional de Lucha Contra la Desertificación y Sequía (PAN-LCD). Se trata de un instrumento programático de alcance nacional y relativo al período 2016-2025, cuya meta es lograr que Guinea Ecuatorial tenga las capacidades y condiciones necesarias para manejar las tierras de una manera sostenible que contribuya a aumentar la productividad y las funciones de los ecosistemas.
