CARI is launching a dynamic Desertif’actions 2022 initiative with activities to build and carry out advocacy throughout the year. Desertif’actions 2022 aims to put agroecology at the top of the agenda in the fight against desertification and land degradation, by sharing and pooling the results of actions carried out by civil society and research.

Partners and volunteer organizations are invited to organize national workshops to prepare civil society advocacy for agroecology.

This fifth edition of Desertif’actions will take place throughout the whole year of 2022 following a three-phase process.

Phase 1: January – April 2022 in as many countries as possible on a voluntary basis
