Developing specifications for monitoring systems at the regional level
The OSS has been working for about twenty years to set up a network of long-term ecological monitoring observatories (ROSELT /OSS) and national environmental monitoring systems (NEMSs), and to develop aligned methodologies and standard tools for the benefit of its member countries. However, despite the efforts made, environmental monitoring methods and tools are poorly disseminated and their ownership is still below the expectations.

Implementing the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), in particular the UNFCCC, the UNCBD and the UNCCD, and having them translated at the country level, into National Environmental Action Programs, is based on the establishment of National Environmental Monitoring Systems (NEMSs), which must ensure the collection, processing and circulation of information within environmental observatories.

This atlas presents the Chad vegetation map, carried out under the "Improving the resilience of the Sahelian populations to environmental changes - REPSAHEL" project, for a sustainable development of natural resources.
1/200,000 maps produced from satellite images (2013) and field observations have been integrated in this work.
It is also a product of the OSS/National Research Support Center (CNAR) partnership. All data used, as well as the derived thematic maps, have been integrated in the REPSAHEL project.
