Sustainable land management and the restoration of degraded lands are important topics in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, not only because of the significant role that land plays in people’s livelihoods, but because of its sensitivity to changes in its management and to the impacts of climate change. The objective of this report is to provide the evidence base for governments and policymakers in developing a regional program on land restoration in MENA, drawing on lessons from Africa and other regions with large-scale efforts. The literature on sustainable land management and restoration of degraded lands is vast. This report reviews relevant global and regional experience and develops an applicable framework for MENA countries. 2019-12-17T20:04:09Z 2019-12-17T20:04:09Z 2019-11-30 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/558421576490422546/Sustainable-Land-Management-and-Restoration-in-the-Middle-East-and-North-Africa-Region-Issues-Challenges-and-Recommendations http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33037 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Environmental Study Middle East and North Africa Middle East North Africa
