Regional Action Programme (RAP) and Thematic Programme Networks (TPN): (back to top)

Thematic Programme Networks (TPNs) in the context of the Regional Action Programme (RAP) to combat desertification in Africa

The TPNs are networks of institutions and agencies linked together via an institutional focal point. Regional, sub-regional and national focal institutions will involve all key actors at regional, sub-regional and national in the respective affected countries. Thus substantial activities of the networks will be delegated to participating institutions or agencies at various levels. Cooperation with other networks working on related issues will be sought. It should be noted that while a number of TPNs are already in place, implementation of activities is still under preparation. The launched TPNs are in the process of establishing and operationalizing their institutional arrangements and identifying funding sources.

The UNCCD regional coordination unit for Africa, hosted by ADB in Abidjan, has a crucial role in acting as a facilitator between different networks of the region, as well as between networks working on corresponding issues in different regions, together with the institutional focal points. Further, the regional coordination unit ensures that relevant information on activities under the CCD at the global level, such as outcomes of the Conference of the Parties and meetings of subsidiary bodies, is distributed to the networks and reflected in their work.
