2 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

After having participated in the INCD process from the very beginning in 1992, Belgium became a Party to the UNCCD on June 30, 1997. Belgium has a long-standing history of activities in combating desertification, particularly in Africa. Today, the UNCCD offers an international legal framework for renewed attention towards the range of desertification problems and Belgium stands ready to continue and improve its actions in this field.

In accordance with the reporting obligations of the Convention and with Decisions 11/COP.1 and 1/COP.5, Belgium presents its report, as an update, on its desertification initiatives in the African region, the Asian region and the Latin American and Caribbean region.

In the introduction, first an overview is given of Belgium’s role in the INCD-process towards UNCCD and thereafter. Then, the policy plan for the Belgian international cooperation is presented. Finally, the relevant decisions and reporting guidance, as well as the organization of the report, are summarized.

Chapters I through III, each representing a geographical region, contain information on the Belgian initiatives to combat desertification. It is presented in the following format: Part A: (i) A short discussion of the activities reported under (ii) and (iii), (ii) The consultative processes at all relevant levels, (iii) A listing of activities, including financial information;

Part B: Additional activities related to combating desertification, if any.

The present report illustrates Belgium’s activities in the combat of desertification, covering a wide range of application categories, depending on the criteria used for their classification. From an institutional viewpoint, Belgium, through its DGIC (Directorate General for International Cooperation), is active at the direct, bilateral level (government cooperation), the indirect, bilateral level (NGOs, universities and scientific institutions), the bilateral/multilateral level (actions implemented by multilateral institutions for earmarked contributions) and the multilateral level (core funding). Regarding their nature, the activities can be purely scientific projects, research and development projects or specific development projects.

From the report it is clear that the bulk of Belgian activities regarding the combat of desertification is located in Africa. There are 250 initiatives that have been executed or are underway in 38 countries. The financial resources for these amount to 239.981.830 EUR. Next comes Latin America and the Caribbean with 60 initiatives in 11 countries for a total of 74.123.513 EUR, followed by Asia with 82 activities in 15 countries and 56.464.352 EUR.

3 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD

INTRODUCTION

1) Belgium and the UNCCD

After having participated, from the very beginning, in the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for the elaboration of an international convention to combat desertification in those countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa (INCD), Belgium was able to accede as a Party to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) on June 30, 1997.

During this process and in the Conferences of the Parties (COPs) thereafter, Belgium has been represented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation (BADC), now indicated as the Directorate General for International Cooperation (DGIC), and a representative of the Belgian scientific society. At the national level, meetings have always been prepared through a close coordination of all these actors, including all interested Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

Under the Belgian Presidency of the European Union, the EU played an active role in the success of COP-5, held in Geneva in October 2001.

At the international level, Belgium was represented in the preparatory and coordination meetings of both the European Union (EU) and the group of like-minded countries within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), where ideas are exchanged and, if possible, common positions defined.

Belgium has a long-standing record of activities in the combat of desertification, covering a wide range of application categories, depending on the criteria used for their classification. From an institutional viewpoint, Belgium, through DGIC, is active at the direct, bilateral level (government cooperation), the indirect, bilateral level (NGOs, universities and scientific institutions), the bilateral/multilateral level (actions implemented by multilateral institutions for earmarked contributions) and the multilateral level (core funding).

2) Policy plan for the Belgian international cooperation

In order to understand better the past and present initiatives for combating desertification, as well as future directions on this topic, a brief outline will be given of the general policy that has guided the Belgian development cooperation in the past and that is still guiding ongoing interventions. However, the major part of this chapter will be dedicated to the current policy plan as it represents the framework within which all future actions, regarding the combat of desertification, will be conceived and implemented.

During the last years, the Belgian International Cooperation has undergone a thorough reorganization. In 1997, a Parliamentary Review Committee examined extensively the functioning and impact of the Belgian Cooperation and noted a need to better define the objectives, to simplify procedures, to separate programming and identification tasks from project implementation and to set up an independent evaluation department. The reform process was then launched through the adoption of the following laws:

4 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD • The Act of 21 December 1998, creating "the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC)", a public corporation, separated programming and identification from implementation, integrated the Development Administration into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a Directorate General for International Cooperation (DGIC), and created an independent evaluation department under monitoring of the Parliament. The relationship between the administration and BTC is laid down in a management contract. • The Act of 25 May 1999 on international cooperation defined the objectives of the Belgian Development Cooperation. It limited the number of international organizations financed with Belgian ODA to 20. It also defined the modalities of the partnerships with the NGO's, Communities, Regions, Provinces, Municipalities, the private sector and other groups. • The Act of 9 February 1999 created the Belgian Survival Fund, which targets countries with chronic food shortages. • The Act of 3 November 2001 created the "Belgian Investment Public Corporation" for investments in developing countries (BIO).

The Act of 25 may 1999 has set the objectives and the overall framework for Belgium’s international cooperation. The main objective of the Belgian cooperation is to achieve sustainable human development through the combat of poverty. The concept of “partnership” stays central to this approach. This Act also stipulates that the direct Belgian bilateral aid has to be focused on five sectors:

- Basic health care; - Education and training; - Agriculture and food security; - Basic infrastructure; - and the Development of Society.

Gender, environment and social economy are the three crosscutting themes. The development pertinence will be measured using the following DAC-criteria:

- Strengthening of the institutional and management capacity; - Economic and social impact; - Technical and financial viability; - Efficiency of the planned implementation procedures; - Attention for the equality between men and women; - Respect for the protection and the safeguarding of the environment

The geographic focus of the bilateral cooperation is nowadays concentrated on 24 partner countries and one regional organization (the SADC). Most of these countries belong to the Least Developed Countries (LDC) category. The priority has been given to the African Continent, with 16 partner countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Burundi, Congo RDC, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Algeria, Morocco).

In the Asian region, Belgium is active in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Palestine and Vietnam. Regarding Latin America and the Caribbean, its presence is limited to Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. While development co-operation activities on the bilateral level are limited to these partners, multilateral agreements and programs, and also NGO activities often cover a wider geographical setting.

5 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD

Belgium’s ODA has substantially increased since 1999, from 0,3 % of Gross National Income to about 0,39 % in 2001. At the beginning of 2002, the Government has reaffirmed its will to increase ODA and has set-up a time frame to reach the target of 0,7 % of GNI by 2010. This entails an increase of around 100 million EUR both in 2002 and in 2003.

In its political note, the Secretary of State for Development Cooperation, Eddy Boutmans, has put special emphasis on the conservation and sustainable management of the environment: “It is a serious conceptual error to consider environmental problems as “luxury problems”. The poorest people in the South are, on the contrary, the principal victims of the increasing degradation of the environment.”

The DGIC is currently drafting its environmental strategy plan. It is to be published mid-2002. The close inter-relations between environmental degradation and poverty lie at the basis of this strategy. The mainstreaming of environmental issues into all policies, programs and projects, as well as into the political dialogue with partner countries is its main objective. The sustainable management of water resources and the combat of land degradation and desertification are the main thematic priorities of this strategy.

From the above it is clear that the main principles of UNCCD coincide with the broad policy outlook and specific strategies of the Belgian international cooperation. The UNCCD puts emphasis on the inter-relations between poverty and land degradation, on the need for National Action Programs (NAPs), the participatory approach and the action at grass root levels (bottom- up approach). All these have a direct bearing on the Belgian vision about international cooperation.

Belgium stands committed to provide support to initiatives aiming at combating land degradation and desertification, not as a separate agenda, but as part of integrated strategies to alleviate poverty, under the ownership of its partners in the South. It will continue to offer its support to initiatives in this field, through its traditional cooperation channels and, in particular, in its bilateral cooperation, in partnership with multilateral organizations, such as IFAD, UNCDF and FAO, with Belgian universities and with NGOs.

3) Communication of information

In accordance with article 26 of the Convention, which provides that each Party shall communicate to the COP at its ordinary sessions, through the Secretariat of the Convention, reports on measures which it has taken for the implementation of the Convention and that the COP shall determine the timetable for submission and the format of such reports, COP-1 in Rome took Decision 11/COP.1 which defines the procedure to be followed in this matter.

Thus, developed country Parties shall report, at each session, on measures taken to assist action programs of those affected developing country Parties reporting for the session, and submit this report at least six months prior to the session at which they are to be reviewed.

6 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD The report of developed country Parties should focus on:

• The consultative processes and partnership agreements in which they are involved.

• Measures taken to support the preparation and implementation of action programs at all levels, including information on the financial resources they have provided, or are providing, both bilaterally and multilaterally.

As a result of the review of the 1999 reports, which were conducted in relation to COP-3 in Recife, some additional recommendations for reporting by developed country Parties were issued. The reports should be organized geographically (Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, other affected country Parties) and subdivided into Part A and Part B.

Decision 1/COP.5 requests that the first session of the Committee for the Review of the Implementation of the Convention (CRIC), established by that same decision, shall review updates to reports already available and/or new reports from all Parties, to be submitted no later than 30 April 2002. Due to this exceptional case, developed country Parties shall report on measures taken under the Convention for all regions to assist in the preparation and implementation of action programs, including information on the financial resources they have provided, or are providing.

This means that, for the present year, Belgium will report on its desertification activities in the African region, the Asian region and the Latin American and Caribbean region. In the present report, the three geographic areas are separated in different chapters.

According to decision 1/COP.5, the 2002 report from Belgium should be considered as an update of the earlier ones: the 1999 report on Africa and the 2000 report on Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and other affected country Parties.

As stipulated in the guidance of the UNCCD Secretariat for the reporting format, each report will contain the headings mentioned in the possible structure for the report of developed country Parties. However, as the 2002 reports are updates, not all headings will be as complete as can be expected for future reports.

For each chapter, which represents a geographical region, the same format will be followed:

- In Part A, Belgium is reporting the measures taken to implement the Convention at all levels, i.e. the Belgian national level, the regional and the international level. Under (i) a short discussion of the activities reported under (ii) and (iii) will be provided, under (ii) the consultative processes at all relevant levels will be described and under (iii) a listing of activities, including financial information, will be presented.

- In Part B, additional activities related to combating desertification, if any, will be reported.

7 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD CHAPTER I: AFRICA

PART A

(i) Summary

As stated above, the geographic focus of the bilateral cooperation in Africa is nowadays concentrated on 16 partner countries and one regional organization (the SADC): Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Burundi, Congo RDC, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Algeria and Morocco.

While development co-operation activities on the bilateral level are limited to these partners, multilateral and NGO agreements and programs cover a wider geographical setting. This is why activities are listed for 38 countries. A total of 250 activities have been executed or are underway, for an amount of 239.981.830 EUR of financial resources.

(ii) Consultative processes and partnership agreements

National level

At the national level, DGIC functions as the focal point for desertification issues. It organizes periodic meetings with the scientific and academic society, as well as with all interested NGOs of Belgium in order to prepare upcoming international meetings or to discuss the outcome of past ones. In this way, professional colleagues are kept informed while having the opportunity to provide their input to the negotiating process. At the same time, this group represents the Belgian network of desertification experts and specialists, which is continuously updated and connected to other networks worldwide. Many members of this group are included in the UNCCD’s Roster of Independent Experts.

Through DGIC’s administrative channels, geographical desks at headquarters, development cooperation offices overseas and Belgian embassies abroad have been informed about the existence of UNCCD and its current situation, as well as about the Belgian activities in the field of combating desertification. Through this mechanism, Belgium intends to contribute to making the UNCCD known to an ever-increasing public, within its own administrative structure and outside of it. As a result, it is hoped that more attention will be paid to the UNCCD and, more importantly, to the problem of desertification and drought itself, when programming future bilateral cooperation actions.

International level

Belgium is also active at the international level when it comes to matters of science and technology through its participation in the (informal) Expert Group on Desertification (EGD) of the European Union. The broader objectives of this group can be summarized as follows:

To fulfill the provisions of the EU Treaty and Council Resolutions on coordination, complementarity and coherence of European aid programs.

8 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD To bring together experiences from around Europe and brainstorm together to implement commitments under the CCD.

To occupy the middle ground between formal diplomatic coordination (which takes place in the Council) and country-specific coordination.

Another field of action, currently underway, is the set-up of the European network of desertification experts and specialized institutions. Until now, a total of 276 experts, academic, scientific and technical organizations have signed up and the list is continuously being updated. Through this mechanism, the fulfillment of the broad objectives will be greatly facilitated. In addition, coordination and cooperation regarding the more technical and scientific issues of the combat against desertification will be enhanced.

Since 2001, Belgium is supporting the planning process for desertification in a number of developing country Parties in Africa, in the framework of a joint program between UNCCD and UNDP. This support is being provided for the finalization of National Action Programs in Burundi and Ivory Coast, for general awareness-raising and for the preparation and organization, at the national level, of round tables for both bilateral and multilateral potential donors, for the mobilization of resources and the promotion of partnerships (2 countries to be selected among Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Mali, Niger, Uganda and Senegal, according to the needs of the UNCCD-UNDP joint program). The total amount assigned to this support is 250.000 EUR.

(iii) Preparation and implementation of action programs at all levels

In Annex I, all Belgian activities regarding the combat of desertification are listed alphabetically according to geographic localization or codification. For each project, the title is indicated, as this gives an explanation about the sector, followed by the implementing organization(s) and the amount of the Belgian contribution in EUR (sometimes also in BEF).

The listing includes projects executed by all types of organizations: - The Belgian bilateral technical cooperation, either through the government or through NGOs (most of which are financed for 75% by the Belgian government), - Scientific and academic institutions (some of which receive partial funding by the Belgian government), - The multilateral organizations.

The projects listed below also cover all types of activities, be they purely scientific (when specific research is conducted on desertification topics that occur worldwide), research and development (when scientific research is being directly applied in development projects) or, specific development projects (when field projects use long-known techniques).

9 Belgium 2002 Report to UNCCD PART B

The present report, being an update of earlier ones, describes de Belgian activities regarding the combat of desertification at the level of the federal government. However, the regional governments, Flemish, Walloon and Brussels, may also be planning or executing projects. As an example, a recent initiative of the Flemish region is presented.

The Flemish Minister for Development Cooperation has launched in 2002 a new initiative to subsidize educational projects with specific development cooperation objectives. The Flemish policy concerning sensibilization and development education aims at making people in Flanders more sensitive for the poor living conditions of the people in the South. The main objectives are to reduce violence, socio-economic inequity and exhaustion of the environment. Through this, the initiative is aiming at a change in attitude of the Flemish citizens towards more solidarity with the South.

Preference will be given to projects corresponding clearly with one of the following policy lines:

• to be connected with new forms of communication (information and communication technology) • to integrate the North-South dialogue • to integrate the topic of sustainability • to be oriented towards sensibilisation and education initiatives of local authorities in Flanders • to be targeted on specific groups in the Flemish society.

Obviously, this new initiative will have a lot of indirect effects on development cooperation and thus also on the combat of desertification in the future.

This kind of activities may become more frequent in the future, as the different regions of Belgium expand their development aid actions. Therefore, future reports will elaborate on the regional initiatives in the realm of the combat of desertification.
