Article 3 Verdrag van de Verenigde Naties ter bestrijding van woestijnvorming in de landen die te kampen hebben met ernstige droogte en/of woestijnvorming, in het bijzonder in Afrika

Regional implementation Annex for Africa

In carrying out their obligations under the Convention, the Parties shall, in the implementation of this Annex, adopt a basic approach that takes into consideration the following particular conditions of Africa:

a) the high proportion of arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas;

b) the substantial number of countries and populations adversely affected by desertification and by the frequent recurrence of severe drought;

c) the large number of affected countries that are landlocked;

d) the widespread poverty prevalent in most affected countries, the large number of least developed countries among them, and their need for significant amounts of external assistance, in the form of grants and loans on concessional terms, to pursue their development objectives;

e) the difficult socio-economic conditions, exacerbated by deteriorating and fluctuating terms of trade, external indebtedness and political instability, which induce internal, regional and international migrations;

f) the heavy reliance of populations on natural resources for subsistence which, compounded by the effects of demographic trends and factors, a weak technological base and unsustainable production practices, contributes to serious resource degradation;

g) the insufficient institutional and legal frameworks, the weak infrastructural base and the insufficient scientific, technical and educational capacity, leading to substantial capacity building requirements; and

h) the central role of actions to combat desertification and/or mitigate the effects of drought in the national development priorities of affected African countries.
