UNITED STATES:
Herman Gallegos said that the US has identified
US$500 million in current or planned projects that can be utilized to
support the Convention. African countries have to decide how they will
use the Convention to meet their own anti- desertification plans and
programmes. He called for reducing the January meeting of the INCD to
one week, cancelling the May meeting and postponing a decision on
meetings in 1996 until the January session. The US believes that the
secretariat should not assume the burden of reviewing preparation of
action programmes and other activities under the urgent action
resolution.
