dc.description.abstract	Drylands make up about 43 percent of the region’s land surface, account for about 75 percent of the area used for agriculture, and are home to about 50 percent of the population, including many poor. Involving complex interactions among many factors, vulnerability in drylands is rising, jeopardizing the livelihood for of millions.	en
dc.description.abstract	D’ici 2030, le nombre d’habitants des zones arides de l’Afrique de l’Est et de l’Ouest devrait augmenter de 65 à 80 % (selon les scénarios de fécondité). Au cours de la même période, le changement climatique pourrait provoquer une expansion des zones classées « arides » allant, dans certains scénarios, jusqu’à 20 % pour l’ensemble de la région, et encore plus dans certains pays (carte 0.2.). Cela placerait davantage de personnes dans des conditions encore plus difficiles.	fr
