SENEGAL:
Amb. Kba Birane Ciss said the global dimension of
desertification and drought is now a fact and priority is now recognized
for Africa. The innovations introduced by the Convention include that
action will be carried out at all levels with the participation of the
populations concerned, as well as intergovernmental and non-
governmental organizations. Only concrete results in the field will allow
measurement of success. Sufficient financial and technical resources are
needed, however, the bilateral and multilateral commitments announced at
the signing ceremony are promising.
