The overall objective of this Policy is to face the challenges imposed by climate change, with a view to ensuring the country's sustainable development. The principles underlying the national policy are: (i) precaution and anticipation, (ii) transversal coherence, (iii) the search for synergies, (iv) decentralization, (v) involvement and accountability , and (vi) partnership. The strategy aims to facilitate the translation of the National Policy Vision and Objectives. It targets state and non-state actors. The first series of actions envisaged relates to adaptation and aims to deal with the loss of livelihoods, the protection of natural capital and the consolidation of economic and social infrastructure, through the systematic consideration of the climate dimension in planning processes to prevent practices that instead increase vulnerability to the effects of climate change. The second concerns mitigation; the third relates to governance, the fourth is devoted to building the capacities of actors and the fifth relates to information, awareness-raising and knowledge management . The action plan is also an advocacy document and also includes an assessment of funding needs for its implementation.

This National Action Plan to Combat Desertification complies with the vision of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (CLD).
This Action Plan is also in line with the final declaration of the "Rio+20" conference, which states that: "desertification, land degradation and drought are global challenges that continue to pose serious difficulties for the sustainable development of all countries, particularly developing ones." Also, "…we must act without delay to reverse the process of land degradation".
The preparation of this report was preceded by a critical analysis of the PAN, which was updated in 2013. This analysis highlighted key data and directions to follow to align the PAN with the 2008-2018 Ten-Year Strategy.
This "updated" and "aligned" Action Plan is the result of collective work which involved several national and international actors, including government institutions, the 5 services of autonomous entities, civil society organizations, as well as relevant technical and financial partners.
