The present work is part of a series of wider and more ambitious studies, the common element of which is being integrated within a same research project: the project “Active Exchange of Experience on Indicators and Development of Perspectives in the Context of the UNCCD – AID-CCD”. The main goal of this study is “to favour the exchange of information and experiences among the main institutions involved in the implementation of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in all the regional annexes”. Within this goal, the project intends to make progress in the analysis, discussion and exchange of two thematic lines, collecting in turn information referring to all annexes integrated into the Convention to Combat Desertification and Drought. The thematic lines referred to are: 1- Local and Regional Desertification Indicators in a Global Perspective 2- Role of Information Circulation Systems in the scientific and practical approach to combat desertification
