La voix des éleveurs pasteurs au Sahel et en Afrique de l'Ouest est souvent oubliée alors qu'ils sont parmi les plus exposés au contexte actuel d'insécurité en raison de leur mobilité. Sur la base du recueil de la perception de 1898 acteurs dont près de 1700 éleveurs issus de 7 pays et 23 régions administratives de Sahel Central (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger) et de son voisinage immédiat (Cote d'Ivoire, Benin, Togo, Nigeria), le Réseau Billital Maroobé (RBM) a souhaité analyser comment les éleveurs vivent cette insécurité, dont la grande majorité en sont les victimes mais dont une minorité s'est engagée au sein des mouvements armés, et en sont donc devenus acteurs. Il en resort un cycle d'alimentation entre crise du pastoralisme et sécuritaire: la crise des zones rurales - dont celle du pastoralisme en particulier - nourrit le recrutement de groupes armes, dont le développement aggrave les violences et leas conflits dont les éleveurs sont les premières victimes.

The question of how to better incorporate nutrition into the livestock sector is a challenge shared by many policymakers and programme managers at regional, national and local levels, due to a lack of proven methodological tools setting out how to effectively achieve this. In response to this challenge, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with support from Action Contre la Faim and World Vision, has developed an innovative stepwise approach that combines theory and practice by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways.

Pastoral systems have evolved to function with the natural environment and therefore with variability. By identifying variability as an entry point, this paper aims at (i) engaging FAO in the mainstreaming of pastoralism by establishing the understanding of pastoralism, and its systematic inclusion in the normal operations of FAO, and at (ii) presenting an evidence based narrative on pastoralism to a specialists’ audience. Two main points are made in this document: First, pastoral systems are emblematic of farming with nature. Second, pastoral systems have been looked at through the wrong “lens”: conventional modelling and economic analysis of livestock production are locked into a view of the animal in isolation from the natural environment, and of variability as a constraint.
