REGIONAL IMPLEMENTATION ANNEX FOR LATIN AMERICA AND THE
CARIBBEAN: This Annex is similar in content and scope to the
Asian Annex. It is equally general and concise, containing only
seven articles: purpose; particular conditions of the region;
content of the national action programmes; technical, scientific
and technological cooperation; financial resources and mechanisms;
and institutional framework. Despite the similarities with the
Asian Annex, this instrument aims at identifying the important
links between the desertification and biodiversity loss, as well as
debt issues, unfavorable international economic trade practices and
other socio-economic factors. In technical cooperation, it
emphasizes the issue of traditional knowledge, know-how and
practices.
