  abstract = {{L}and degradation is a major issue in the {S}ahel region. {N}umerous investments have been made in implementing sustainable land management ({SLM}) actions to reverse land degradation. {O}ur work aims to (i) describe the variety of degraded land reclamation actions ({DLRA}s) and (ii) map the stakeholders acting in {N}iger. {A} time series (2008-2021) of georeferenced public data was collected and organized using a harmonized nomenclature. {T}he results show that about 279,074 ha could be analysed in our study. {D}ug structures are the most widespread technique, while treated land is mostly devoted to single agricultural or pastoral uses. {DLRA}s are unevenly distributed in the {N}iger. {M}ore than 100 stakeholders were part of the effort to restore degraded land in the country-some playing a specific role, while others, such as the {G}overnment of the {N}iger, were responsible for mobilizing funds for implementing sustainable land management programs, while also carrying out certain programmes of their own. {O}ur study points out the added value of creating a geolocalized dataset and, in future, a spatialized database management system to (i) deploy targeted sustainable land management actions complementing past and ongoing actions and (ii) create synergy between all the stakeholders.},
