‘“Business as usual” is no longer an option for a food-secure future. Pastoralism can be an innovative system: a time-tested, undervalued alternative to high-input and resource-intensive farming, and a valuable lesson for the much needed evolution towards ‘farming with nature’, with largely-untapped potential for income growth and employment in marginal areas.
Two main points are made. First, pastoral systems are emblematic of farming with nature: they have evolved to function with the natural environment and therefore with variability; for this reason, pastoralism has great potential in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals in a climate-change scenario where variability is globally on the increase. Second, pastoral systems have been looked at with the wrong lenses: conventional modelling and economic analysis of livestock production are locked into a view of the animal in isolation from the natural environment, and a view of variability as a constraint.

L’étude dont ce rapport est issu a analysé le contexte institutionnel des jeunes migrants issus de milieux pastoraux et leurs perceptions publiques au Burkina Faso (Février 2019 à Ouagadougou, Mars 2019 à Bobo Dioulasso et Dori). Le rapport traite trois questions principales: la perception publique des migrations vers les villes et des jeunes issus de milieux pastoraux ; les services existants ciblant ces jeunes (formation professionnelle, scolarisation, soutien à l’inclusion sociale et/ou économique) ; les actions potentielles d’inclusion économique et sociale des jeunes migrants d’origine pastorale.

Un faible niveau de scolarisation, l’absence de formation professionnelle et la marginalisation justifient une réflexion spécifique pour améliorer l’inclusion sociale et économique des jeunes pasteurs. Cette étude analyse le contexte institutionnel d’intégration des jeunes issus de milieu pastoraux en ville et les perceptions publiques au Tchad (Janvier 2019 à N'Djamena, Février 2019 à Dourbali). Trois enjeux principaux sont traités : la perception publique des migrations de jeunes des régions pastorales et du pastoralisme ; les services existants concernant ces jeunes ; les actions potentielles de soutien à l’intégration des jeunes migrants des régions pastorales vers les villes. Les principaux résultats de cette étude sont: Le manque de données résulte et entretient des divergences de perceptions entre acteurs publics sur les besoins des jeunes pasteurs au Tchad. La question du soutien aux jeunes pasteurs dans la société tchadienne ne constitue pas un enjeu d’action publique.

Au Tchad, les migrations temporaires vers la Lybie, le Soudan et les sites d‘orpaillage sont entravées par la crise sécuritaire et réprimées par l’armée. La diversification des économies familiales pastorales varie selon les groupes (Kreda, Arabes, Peuls). Les institutions familiales et communautaires jouent un rôle clé dans l’intégration urbaine. Au Burkina Faso, les migrations sont stimulées par une crise pastorale complexe, aiguisée par l’affaiblissement des droits fonciers et le ralentissement du transfert inter générationnel des droits sur le bétail. Trois manières de prendre en compte ces nouvelles connections entre milieux rural et urbain sont: 1) soutenir les systèmes pastoraux; (2) fournir aux campements pastoraux des services sociaux de base, en particulier l’accès à l’éduction; (3) reconnaitre le droit de combiner la mobilité pastorale et l’accès aux droits civiques nationaux.

The changes and constraints in the economy of the family pastoral economy are modifying the pathways to adult status for pastoralist youth in Chad and Burkina Faso. The study synthesized here focused on, on the one hand, the youth – men born in pastoral environments, who had migrated into towns and cities (Ndjamena, Dourbali, Ouagadougou, Bobo Dioulasso), identified in their migratory network, as witnesses and actors of those changes; on the other hand, stakeholders from public or community institutions concerned by these issues.

Mali is currently facing many challenges due to climate change that is significantly affecting all communities in the country, and agricultural producers in particular. In order to meet these climate challenges, the project aimed at building the capacities of agro-pastoralists in the Banamba, Kita and Niono districts to help them cope with climate change. With the exception of gender, the project strategy is sound and it reached the objective to boost the capacity of Mali's agro-pastoral activities to cope with climate change. A functional interactive community chat created by the project, as well as the Village Savings and Loan Associations set-up, are some of the elements that strengthen the resilience of agro-pastoralists and render project achievements more sustainable.

This technical report describes the impacts of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restrictions in the Karamoja sub-region of Uganda, based on field assessments in Amudat, Moroto and Abim Districts. The COVID-19 prevention guidelines that prompted total lockdown measures included market closure and travel restrictions which in turn affected the essential economic activities of many households, especially the poor. These restrictions were implemented in March 2020 and were still in place in August 2020.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) originated from an animal source, as have an estimated 60 percent of human infectious diseases. The pandemic emphasizes the need to prepare for, prevent, detect and respond to such diseases in areas where the next pandemic is likely to take hold. The risk is highest where there is close interaction between wildlife and intensifying livestock or agricultural production, and is often exacerbated where agriculture has encroached upon or put pressure on natural ecosystems. Family farmers are most at risk, often women and children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where medical, veterinary and animal production services are limited and food safety control systems are ill-equipped to prevent, detect and respond to emerging and resurgent zoonotic diseases.
