The inherent variation in the impacts of desertification and the criteria and methods used for its control significantly
influence the success of its combat. This paper provides a critical review of the empirical studies that have been carried
out and of the assessment approaches that have been developed in the drylands. A number of local but differentiated
case studies were reviewed. The current knowledge is established, and areas of possible future research work are
identified. To combat desertification in a sustainable manner local case studies should be promoted for the reason that
diverse areas demand different assessment and prescriptions. The community involvement and the assimilation of
socioeconomic measures in the packages of control is the panacea to desertification conundrum
