Securing rangelands is an important ongoing debate because of the complex planning needed for their use and their lack of recognition or protection. The Land Portal Foundation and the Rangelands Initiative of the International Land Coalition facilitated an online debate wherein potential solutions were discussed for making rangelands more secure. This opened up space for dialogue on these issues, helped identify good practice and develop some agreement about what should be prioritised. The summaries of these debates are presented in this paper.

Les conflits violents impliquant des pasteurs ont augmenté dans certaines régions de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Sahel ces dernières années, réclamant des milliers de vies dans la région.Ces conflits sont principalement entraînés par une concurrence pour la terre, l’eau et le fourrage, mais il y a aussi des facteurs politiques et socio-économiques impliqués.La principale question est de savoir comment ces ressources naturelles sont gérées et allouées.Il est essentiel de se concentrer sur les questions relatives aux droits fonciers et à la gestion des ressources naturelles.Pour promouvoir la coexistence pacifique, une stratégie de communication régionale est nécessaire pour sensibiliser les agriculteurs aux relations et aux moyens des éleveurs.

Violent conflicts involving pastoralists have escalated in parts of West Africa and the Sahel in recent years, claiming thousands of lives across the region. These conflicts are primarily driven by a competition for land, water and forage, but there are also political and socio-economic factors involved. The main issue is about how these natural resources are managed and allocated. A focus on issues relating to land rights and natural resource management is critical. To promote peaceful co-existence, a regional communications strategy is needed to raise awareness about herder-farmer relations and ways.

There’s evidence that the intensity and frequency of climate-driven natural disasters and conflicts is increasing. Natural disasters now occur nearly five times as often as 40 years ago. Working with national governments and humanitarian, development and scientific partners, FAO’s Early Warning Early Action approach monitors risk information systems and translates warnings into anticipatory actions.
This study analyses the outcomes of early actions implemented in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia in 2017, evaluating how effective they were in mitigating the impact of severe drought on vulnerable pastoralist livelihoods and quantifying the benefits generated through acting early.
