Abstract
[The interagency project on Sustainable Management of Marginal Drylands (SUMAMAD) is an international, coordinated research initiative involving farmers, pastoralists and scientists undertaking participatory research. With support from the Flemish Government, this project includes a network of research teams at eight study sites in marginal dryland areas in North Africa and Western Asia (UNESCO, 2004). The project approach, developed through a collaborative effort between UNESCO, UNU-INWEH and ICARDA, focuses on supporting local populations in their efforts to use their natural resources in a sustainable manner (Adeel et al., 2002).]
