En 2016, Action contre la désertification se prépare à restaurer 10 000 hectares de terres et à planter des espèces d'arbres, d'arbustes et de graminées locales et bien adaptées localement dans six pays africains - le Burkina Faso, l'Éthiopie, la Gambie, le Niger, le Nigeria et le Sénégal.

The Government of Kenya is in the process of establishing a National REDD+ Programme through the Kenya Forest Service (KFS). Two critical elements of the National REDD+ Programme are forest reference levels (FRL) and a National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS). This document describes the steps towards establishing the design of the NFMS and reference levels, through an enumeration and description of required tasks.

Le suivi et l'évaluation sont essentiels pour mesurer les progrès réalisés et les impacts biophysiques et socio-économiques des activités menées dans le cadre d'Action contre la désertification. Le S&E aide également Action contre la désertification à obtenir des résultats en veillant à ce que les objectifs soient clairement définis et réalisables, que la collecte de données soit correctement planifiée et que les données soient utilisées pour la prise de décision et pour l'amélioration continuelle du programme.

This publication responds to calls in regional and global forestry forums to strengthen capacity for effectively developing and implementing payment schemes for environmental services in sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, the African Forestry and Wildlife Commission, at its 18th session, called for enhancement of the institutional capacities of member countries and the sharing of knowledge on payment schemes for forest environmental services at the national and subregional levels.

The Commission has been in the forefront of promoting good governance and accountability in the land sector. Progress in the land sector has been mixed. Through the effort of the government, support agencies and other stakeholders the Commission was able to devolve its function to the 47 counties through the County Land Management Boards (CLMBs). The CLMBs have in effect devolved land services throughout Kenya. However, achieving land, better land governance, accountability in the land sector and ensuring secure land rights for all Kenyan is still to be achieved.

Between late 2014 and June 2016, South Africa experienced an El Niño-related drought, which various reports claim to be the worst meteorological drought in the southern Africa region in 35 years. In February 2016, the Southern Africa Food Lab (SAFL) commissioned a drought impact assessment (DIA) in the Mopani district of Limpopo province, as part of its Agro-ecology Awareness (AeA) project, and Supporting Smallholder Agriculture programme. This report provides the findings of this assessment.

There is by now substantial consensus within the development community over the need for a more climate smart agriculture, which consists of three defining principles: enhancing agriculture’s resilience to climate change, reducing agricultural green-house gas emissions, and sustainably increasing production. With 795 million people still not getting their minimum dietary requirements, there is little scope for trade-offs between increasing production and improving agriculture’s environmental impacts.

A partir de meados da década de 2000, a província de Tete passou a constituir um centro de atracção do grande investimento internacional, com particular impacto ao nível da indústria extractiva. De acordo com as informações disponibilizadas pela Direcção Provincial dos Recursos Minerais, o auge da prospecção e pesquisa aconteceu nos anos de 2009 e 2010, sobretudo ao nível do carvão, zinco, platina, ouro e metais básicos. Em 2011 a mineradora Vale iniciou o processo de extracção de carvão, em 2012 começou a Rio Tinto e, em 2013, a empresa Jindal.
