Land
Degradation, Poverty and Migration: What are the linkages?
Where are the answers?
An international workshop, Desertification, Migration and
Local Development, is to be organised in collaboration with
CENSAD and hopes to conduct:
• the evaluation of land degradation’s contribution
to migration within the Sahelo-Saharan area
• a deeper understanding of migratory flows, their socio-economic
and cultural dimensions within the region, and their impact
on countries’ development, including migrants’
contributions to local development in their countries of origin
• the development of strong arguments to use with national
decision-makers and Northern partners, on the importance of
investing in sustainable land management
in arid zones, in response to migration caused by poverty.
