Workshop in French
The Desertification Working Group (Groupe de Travail Désertification – GTD) is a network of French international solidarity and development players involved in the fight against desertification.
This workshop is being organised to bring together stakeholders from French and European civil society to discuss how sedentary farming and livestock systems can be made more resilient to the impact of drought.
