1 ex United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Executive Board Hundred and sixtieth Session 160 EX/37 PARIS, 8 August 2000 Original: French/English Item 8.3 of the draft provisional agenda RELATIONS WITH THE SAHARA AND SAHEL OBSERVATORY (OSS) AND DRAFT COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN UNESCO AND THAT BODY SUMMARY In response to the request by the Executive Director of the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) and in accordance with Article XI, paragraph 1, of the Constitution of UNESCO, the Director-General submits to the Executive Board, for its approval, a draft cooperation agreement with the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS). Decision required: paragraph In a letter dated 22 June 2000, Mr Chedli Fezzani, Executive Director of OSS, referring to the solid cooperation between UNESCO and the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) and the positive role UNESCO had played in the expansion of the Observatory since its creation, expressed a wish to give concrete expression to such cooperation in the form of a cooperation agreement between OSS and UNESCO. 2. The Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) was set up in May 1992 under the French law of 1901 on non-profit associations. UNESCO was one of the Observatory s founding members and accommodated the OSS secretariat in the Miollis building from the time it was set up until March On 18 June 1999 an agreement was signed between UNESCO and the Tunisian Government on the transfer of OSS to Tunis (Tunisia) and its establishment and operation there. In March 2000 the General Assembly of OSS adopted the organization s international statutes.

2 - page 2 3. OSS carries out its work within the framework of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and Agenda 21. Its primary objective is to promote the development and optimization of its partners wealth of information, and hence use resources for combating desertification as effectively as possible. Twenty-one Saharan and Sahelian countries are members of OSS, together with four European countries (France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland), which provide most of the organization s funding. The subregional organizations, the Permanent Inter-State Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the Union du Maghreb Arabe (UMA) are also members of OSS, as is the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). 4. At its seventh session (March 1998) the OSS Executive Board accepted the Tunisian Government s offer to accommodate the OSS secretariat in Tunis. At the request of OSS Member States an agreement was signed on 18 June 1999 between the Government of the Republic of Tunisia and UNESCO, which specified the independence of OSS and granted it legal status allowing it to enjoy the benefits and privileges enjoyed by intergovernmental organizations in Tunisia. This agreement also meets the conditions laid down by the OSS General Assembly at its 1997 session. The agreement and the new statutes were approved by the OSS Executive Board at its ninth session, which was held in Tunis in April At the OSS extraordinary General Assembly (6-7 March 2000, Rabat, Morocco), OSS became an independent international organization. 5. UNESCO, in the context of its contribution to the implementation of the UNCCD, works with OSS mainly through its MAB and IHP programmes. The OSS programme Network of Observatories for Long-Term Ecological Monitoring (ROSELT) is making use of several MAB Biosphere Reserves in the Sahelian region to set up a mechanism for the observation and evaluation of desertification. IHP works in close cooperation with OSS in connection with the programme Aquifers of the Major Basins. In arid and semi-arid regions, where renewable water resources are rare and irregular, the extensive non-renewable water resources are of great economic importance. These resources are limited in the long term but are not at the mercy of climatic fluctuations; harnessing them can compensate for breakdown of conventional resources, particularly in the event of drought. 6. In view of the above, the Executive Board may wish to adopt the following decision: TheExecutiveBoard, 1. Having examined document 160 EX/37, 2. Considering the desirability of establishing a framework for cooperation between UNESCO and the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) in areas of mutual interest concerning action to combat desertification, 3. Approves the draft cooperation agreement set out in Annex II to this document; 4. Authorizes the Director-General to establish formal relations with OSS and to sign the cooperation agreement on behalf of UNESCO.
