This report, based on 21 case-studies, from 17 countries in four continents, describes how pastoralists successfully defended/asserted their land rights. The question at the outset was what elements contribute to the success of pastoralists’ securing land rights and resources. Pastoralists, due to their way of life and their traditions, are caught in a vicious cycle of marginalization, discrimination and loss of identity and confidence. Yet, the basic message of the case-studies is that success can be attained.

This report assesses the contribution of livestock to the Kenyan national economy. Livestock specialists frequently argue that livestock production is underrepresented in the GDP estimates of African nations. With respect to Kenya this argument is confirmed. The report provides an estimate of the pastoral livestock population in Kenya and its monetary value.

Pastoralists depend on water for sustaining herds, as well as for their own health and survival. When water availability declines, pastoralists have to move their herds elsewhere to avoid their depletion and consequent impoverishment. Water for livestock needs has received little attention from policy makers and practitioners in the water sector.
This policy brief summarizes the findings from a literature review and research in the districts of Longido and Hanang Districts in Northern Tanzania. It recognises the rationale of pastoral livelihood systems, and calls for further research and support to develop water supply, sanitation and hygiene solutions that are in harmony with such a livelihood system.

Au Niger, la campagne agropastorale 2009-2010, a été caractérisée par un déficit fourrager jamais égalé au niveau de toutes les régions du pays. Cette situation a entrainé en 2010 une crise pastorale sévère, face à laquelle des initiatives pour l’atténuation de ses effets ont été pensées et mises en oeuvre. En plus, de l’importance du déficit fourrager, la réaction tardive des autorités pour juguler la crise ainsi que l’installation tardive de la saison des pluies en zone pastorale, ont aggravé la situation avec des pertes énormes du capital bétail. Prenant en compte de cette douloureuse expérience l’Etat du Niger à travers le Ministère en charge de l’Elevage et ses partenaires au développement ont initié la présente étude afin de faire une évaluation rapide de l’impact de cette crise sur le monde pastoral et agropastoral. L’exercice a consisté à collecter et à analyser des informations qualitatives et quantitatives auprès des ménages sinistrés au niveau des sites retenus. Le présent document fait l’économie des principaux résultats inhérents à l’étude.
