Land degradation during 2016 to 2022 in the watersheds of Sennar state, Sudan SDG Indicator 15.3.1

Year published: 08/09/2023

An assessment of land degradation was carried out following the UNCCD’s Good Practice Guidance (GPG) version 2 for the SDG Indicator 15.3.1 (Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area) for Sennar state in Sudan for the period of 2016 - 2022. Using the default parameters in the SEPAL SDG 15.3.1 module, one out all out statistical principle was used to combine all the sub-indicators of productivity, land cover and soil organic carbon. Percentages of land degraded within the water sheds located in the state were computed.
