BURKINA FASO:

Although the creation of the CSD, the INCD, the conferences on small island developing States and straddling and highly migratory fish stocks are a start, these actions do not address all concerns. There is a need to adopt an action-oriented instrument for desertification. The GEF should be one of the funding mechanisms for the desertification Convention. In general, although promises have been made regarding financial resources and the transfer of technology, there has been little progress. Hopefully, the CSD intersessional groups will make concrete proposals on these issues.
