Cross Cutting Issues Relevant to Desertification
and the Other Two Rio Conventions
Several actions were recommended in the in-depth phase of the NCSA project
to address the main prioritized constraints specifically and all the gaps that were

should be applied to achieve the goals of the three Rio conventions (Biodiversity,
Desertification, Climate change). These actions are in the area of
Public Participa-
