5th Plenary meeting, China, October 2010
1. UNCCD reporting process
• Letters to SST and NFP have had different impacts yet but have started a relationship
• In some rare cases the NFP was just changed or did not respond
• In many cases the contact was welcome but the new webbased format was not yet well known and did not allow further contribution
• In some cases more direct exchange was established by phone or letter
• In some cases there was a real contribution from DESIRE to the national report process ( still ongoing), and mutual participation in workshops or national committee
• As a conclusion : the contact should be kept on long term, there is an opportunity to interact if the deadline is postponed (mid november ?) . DESIRE has made its job as a scientific consortium

Some comments…• The issues mentioned are very different
according to SS but are all more or less related to processes rather than techniques
• Most of them are not strictly based on the scientific results or findings but on the lessons learned in practice during the DESIRE process
• DESIRE seems to have built more legitimacy in the SS for expressing a wider point of vue on local SLM
• The economic aspects cannot be avoided and are directly or indirectly adressed
