The question of drought and desertification and how to combat them should be seen in the light of African economic and social development.

(d) enhance national climatological, meteorological and hydrological capabilities and the means to provide for drought early warning

Agricultural degradation and deforestation have promoted drought and soil erosion, and made malnutrition and famine increasingly familiar occurrences in certain regions.

The Government also organized a working visit to the drought affected localities for Resident Representatives of donor countries to demonstrate to them the extent and scope of the humanitarian emergency.
