ProjectFactsheetAssistance technique à la Communauté de développement de l’Afrique australe visant à institutionnaliser l’initiative Grande muraille verte, à suivre sa mise en œuvre et à la transposer à plus grande échelle en Afrique australe – TCP/SFS/3804 2025
Also available in:
La désertification et la sécheresse sont des obstacles importants au développement durable en Afrique australe, région où les terres arides représentent 18 pour cent de l’ensemble des terres émergées. Le programme d’action sous-régional de lutte contre la désertification a permis de constater que la dégradation des terres et d’autres ressources, en particulier dans les zones arides et semi-arides, constituait un obstacle majeur. La surexploitation des terres agricoles, le surpâturage et la déforestation sont les principales causes de cette dégradation et reposent sur des problèmes socioéconomiques plus profonds, comme une dépendance excessive à l’égard des ressources naturelles. Pour faire face à ces difficultés, la Commission de l’Union africaine a lancé en 2007 l’initiative Grande muraille verte du Sahara et du Sahel, qui, depuis, s’est étendue à l’Afrique australe, avec l’approbation de la SADC en 2016. Cette initiative vise à restaurer les terres dégradées et à améliorer la résilience face au changement climatique. -

No results found.The annual Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues was held in Rome, Italy, from 21 to 30 September 2010. The FAO Panel of Experts had met in Preparatory Sessions from 16 to 20 September. The Meeting was held in pursuance of recommendations made by previous meetings and accepted by the governing bodies of FAO and WHO that studies should be undertaken jointly by experts to evaluat e possible hazards to humans arising from the occurrence of pesticide residues in foods. During the meeting the FAO Panel of Experts was responsible for reviewing pesticide use patterns (use of good agricultural practices), data on the chemistry and composition of the pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues and for estimating the maximum residue levels that might occur as a result of the use of the pesticides according to good agricultural practices. The WHO Core Asse ssment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data and for estimating, where possible and appropriate, acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) of the pesticides for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs, maximum residue levels, and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The recommendations of the Joint Meeting, including further research and information, are proposed for use by Member governments of the respective agencies and other interested parties. -
