dc.descriptionThis note highlights the need for member States in Africa and other stakeholders to raise ambitious and collaborative actions to tackle desertification, land degradation and drought in the continent. Land degradation, desertification, and drought pose significant threats to Africa's socio-economic development, food security, and environmental sustainability, among others. Despite Africa’s steady efforts to address desertification, land degradation, and drought, the region is still facing significant challenges affecting its environment, people as well as its economies: an estimated 65% of Africa's land is already degraded, affecting over 400 million people.en
