6 Désertification Process in thé Sahelian Belt of West Africa: What's thé State of Play? by Yvon-Carmen HOUNTOUNDJI*- **, Nestor SOKPON**, Jacques NICOLAS* & Pierre OZER* KEYWORDS. Integrated NDVI; Rainfall; Rain Use Efficiency; Trend Analysis; Désertification; Sahel. SUMMARY. The implementation of thé UNCCD needs thé identification of areas that record declining productivity of thé végétation over long-time periods. In this scope, we analyse thé state of thé végétation productivity using time séries of NOAA-AVHRR NDVI data and compare it to rainfall data. For this, 354 rain gauges data distributed from yearly average isohyets 100 to 900 mm in five countries of West Africa are analysed. We use for trend analysis, thé ratio between integrated végétation index (INDVI) during thé growing period (June to October) and thé May to October sum of rainfall (RR). This ratio is a proxy of thé Rain Use Efficiency which is widely accepted. Overall, 91 and 94 % of RR and INDVI data recorded positive trends over thé periods. Most stations in thé Sahel were stable for thé INDVI/RR (49.5 %). However, 37.8 % showed strong to very strong négative change in thé INDVI/RR ratio, while only 1.3 % showed positive trends. The strong négative trends recorded in more than 1/3 of thé analysed stations may reflect ongoing désertification processes in thé Sahel and could be a starting point for thé identification of hot-spot areas to détermine where to take action to combat désertification. * Environmental Sciences Management Department, University of Liège (Belgium). ** Laboratoire d'etudes et de Recherches Forestières (L.E.R.F.), Faculty of Agronomy, University of Parakou (Bénin).
