Book (stand-alone)Regional action plan for sustainable soil management in the Near East and North Africa region 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This document was generated under the Technical Cooperation Project TCP/RAB/3802 “Capacity development for the sustainable management of soil resources in the NENA region to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” and it was formulated to address the regional and national prerequisites to raise awareness on the importance of soils in the NENA region and to conserve and manage them sustainably. Soil degradation by salinity, sodicity and erosion and the resulting loss in soil functions represent a growing threat in NENA that increasingly threatens food security in the region. The two-year TCP/RAB/3802 project started in October 2020. The project ultimately involved 11 countries in NENA, (Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Islamic Republic of Iran, Kingdom of Morocco, the Lebanese Republic, Republic of Iraq, Republic of Sudan, Republic of Tunisia, Republic of Yemen, Palestine, Sultanate of Oman and Syrian Arab Republic) and focused on (1) enhancing the understanding of soil characteristics/challenges and management practices, (2) strengthening national capacities for the implementation of normative tools on sustainable soil management (SSM), and (3) strengthening regional and interregional collaboration on SSM.
