**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a trust fund established to support the recovery and rehabilitation of drought-stricken countries in the Sahel region. The fund's activities seem to focus on infrastructure development, such as road construction and plantation establishment, as well as thematic cartography and national institutional support. The text also mentions the fund's relationship with the Permanent Inter-State Committee on Drought Control in the Sahel and the governments of the affected countries.
