The Near East and North African (NENA) Soil Partnership was established in April 2012 to enhance collaboration between member countries in the region. The partnership aims to facilitate knowledge and data sharing, overcome the challenges of food security, increased carbon sequestration, land degradation, and encourage environment protection and sustainable soil management practices to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate. In this framework, national needs and priorities are translated into regional actions through the NENA implementation plan, which is revised at the yearly NENA plenary meetings.
