ICID+19 Africa

Approximately one hundred participants, scientists and policymakers from Africa, Brazil, Argentina and France, as well as representatives from international organizations, met in Niamey (Niger) from 24-25 October, at the “Fight Against Desertification in Africa” conference, also known as ICID+19 Africa. Over the two days, participants discussed the situation of dryland regions (arid, semi-arid and dry subhumid lands), with a special focus on Africa, and developed recommendations addressed to policy-makers in the Declaration of Niamy.
