Niger’s experience in terms of pastoralists’ mobility and cattle circulation rights is a model and may be presented through an overview of some key relevant laws. This overview reveals that the policies boil down to a few strong principles, and Niger’s contribution to the sub-region’s recognition of the need for and usefulness of mobility (international transhumance) in the ECOWAS zone. Asserting these principles has assured pastoralists recognition of their activity, their way of life, and their specific rights across an important portion of the national territory. However, in the study area, the enforcement of texts is not beneficial to pastoralists and in a context of a strong demographic growth, recognition of their rights is made more difficult by the rush for land tenure. As a result of the loss of consideration for their way of life and the lack of recognition of their contribution to the development of pastoral areas, they are asking for the States Generals on pastoralism to be convened to allow them to contribute to the Pastoral Code in preparation.

The study contributes to building an enabling environment for pastoral sustainable rangeland management through enhanced local-level advocacy based on sound knowledge management on the impact of current policies on pastoralism. This Sudan case study is focused on the national policy towards Traditional Livestock Migration Routes (Darfur States Case). The study evaluates the success of the intervention carried by The Administrative Committee for Routes Delineation - Darfur States (ACRD-DS) and the impact this has had on the wider pastoralist environment. It contributes to WISP’s efforts to demonstrate that, given an enabling policy environment, pastoralists can be the best custodians of the drylands environment.

Transhumant pastoralism is a reality in animal production systems in the Sahel and West Africa (SWA), which despite its importance, it still faces serious obstacles that threaten its potential production. This policy note aims at highlighting the best ways at international and regional levels in order to develop and implement policies and strategies aimed to support transhumant pastoralism while creating conditions for change to sedentary agro-pastoralism.

La ganadería móvil es el modo más sostenible de manejar los pastizales del mundo y los usos de tierra alternativos se asocian con costos ambientales y económicos. La magnitud de costos no quedan bien entendidos y pueden incurrirse sin que la gente se de cuenta de ello. Si un país que posee amplios pastizales desea reversar la desertificación y superar la pobreza, es esencial que reconozca la lógica ambiental de la ganadería móvil y su gran potencial económico.

Many policy makers in East Africa have preconceptions about the value of pastoralism as a land-use system believing it to be economically inefficient and environmentally destructive. Yet, this is not evidence-based. Not only is there no consensus on what is a dynamic economic model of pastoralism, no mechanisms exist to inform government decision-making of its comparative advantages over alternative land uses. A new conceptual framework is needed to assess the value of pastoralism that goes beyond conventional economic criteria in order to provide fresh insights to its contribution to poverty reduction, sustainable environmental management and the economic development of dryland areas of East Africa in the context of increasing climate uncertainty. This paper proposes such a framework.
