This project focuses on developing countries in a region that includes Northern Africa, Middle East, Central Asia, and China (in the context of this project, "Dr Areas" are defined broadly to include arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions). This geographical region includes a variety of ecosystems ranging from rangelands, deserts highlands to mountains. However, the drivers behind the land degradation problems (population stress, economic exploitation, unsustainable development practices) are common to the developing countries in this region and result in a high stress on livelihood of the people and the natural resources. The solution in looking at the overall picture and developing integrated approaches for managing the land degradation problems. Proper management of water lies at the heart of such approaches because the dry areas of this region range between dry sub-humid to extremely arid. Particularly, the linkage between management of highlands and lowlands is an important one to consider for integrated approaches for dealing with land degradation. Specifically, this project comprises four distinct, but mutually complementary, components that will be implemented in parallel. These include network development, capacity building programmes, research and development activities and dissemination of environmentally sound information. UNBIS Thesaurus WATER RESOURCES
