On Tuesday 19 August 2025, CENADEP organised a workshop in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) on “Sustainable water management in the Congo Basin, a factor in combating drought in sub-Saharan Africa”.

From 17 June to 20 July 2025, take part in our survey on “Measures to deal with the risk of drought”. Phase 1 – preparations for the International Summit continue! After the start of preparatory workshops in a number of countries (the first workshops will begin in June!), we’re taking advantage of World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to launch our online survey on drought issues!

Launched in 2006 by the Centre d’Actions et de Réalisations Internationales (CARI – France) and its partners, the international multi-stakeholder summit Désertif’actions is intended to provide a forum for inclusive dialogue on the issue of land and the development of drylands, with the aim of preparing elements of influence ahead of the UNCCD COPs.

For its 6ᵉ edition, Désertif’actions will be held from 25 to 28 March 2026 in Djerba (Tunisia), and will be co-organised by CARI, UNCCD  and OSS, in partnership also with ACDD (Association Citoyenneté et Développement Durable) and WWF Afrique du Nord.
