SALAM: Sustainable Arid Land Management Partnership Programme
The Sustainable Arid Land Management Partnership programme for the Gulf and neighbouring Arab States (SALAM) is being proposed by the GM as a complementary initiative to further strengthen the countries’ efforts to address land degradation-related issues.
The GCC countries, namely: The United Arab Emirates; The State of Bahrain; The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; The Sultanate of Oman; The State of Qatar; and The State of Kuwait - have special economic and environmental profiles.
Beyond the borders of the GCC countries, the region comprises countries with developing economies and economies in transition which face challenging socio-economic, political and environmental hurdles.
The neighbouring Arab States that this programme intends to engage are: Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and the Palestinian Authority.
The Programme reflects the participating countries’ different development trajectories and unique ecological context, building on the existing momentum of the countries by forging a strong partnership between the countries themselves and with external partners in pursuit of a common vision of reversing the trends of land degradation and of improving socio-economic conditions of local communities.
