First National Report on the Implementation of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification/Land Degradation in Bosnia and Herzegovinia

The preparations of the first national report, along with the setting-up of a National Coordination Body (NCB) are part of this process. 6 The NCB will coordinate interdisciplinary and inter-ministerial efforts to run the forthcoming implementation UNCCD activities under the National Strategies of BIH and the obligations deriving from it. The NCB should include representatives from a variety of stakeholders ranging from government and non-governmental institutions, from civil society representatives to grassroots resource users, academia, and the private sector, in line with the complex and interdisciplinary nature of desertification and other forms of land degradation and their diverse impacts.
