Resumen:
Summary   This paper is based on the Document “State of art on existing indicators and their use for desertification monitoring and UNCCD implementation in Latin American and the Caribean. Report on the use of indicators in the NAPs relevant activities in Annex III“ prepared within the frame of the AIDCCD International Project.   Our intention during the preparation of this work was to have a state of art about the indicators used by the different stakeholders at local, sub-national, national, sub-regional and regional level in Latin America and The Caribbean Region, in relation with UNCCD implementation.   We obtained information on indicators for all thematic areas: biophysical and socio-economical fields as well, defining some practical ways and tools related to B&I, how indicators are generated and what are the problems faced their implementation. Finally we collected information on how the selected indicators are used by decision makers and stakeholders at different levels to implement UNCCD (e.g. preparation and/or implementation of Action Programmes)
