OAU EXPERT GROUP MEETING TO PREPARE FOR INCD-3:
The OAU
Expert Group will meet in Algiers from 11-13 January. Assistance in
the organization of this meeting will be provided by the INCD
Secretariat. The meeting will be coordinated by the OAU with
support from the Joint Secretariat Organizations (UNEP, UNDP/UNSO,
ECA, ADB). The objectives of this meeting are to review the
recommendations and proposals coming from the meeting of the ad-hoc
expert working group and formulate Africa's contribution to the
third session of the INCD. The experts will also review the results
of the African Development Bank-sponsored meeting from 20-23
December 1993 in Nairobi on the financial resources and mechanisms
needed for funding the Desertification Convention, particularly as
it may relate to the financing of the implementation of the African
instrument.
