This manual on Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) outlines essential ways to ensure that indigenous peoples can give or withhold their consent to interventions proposed in their lands and territories and do so free of coercion, prior to any decisions being made, and with the necessary information presented to them in a culturally appropriate way. The document is designed for project practitioners for a broad range of development projects and shows how FPIC can be implemented in six steps.

Pastoralism from a temporal dimension is as old as the first human civilization; and spatially it is witnessed all across the world’s dry belt region. Pastoralists and their way of life are yet to receive the attention they deserve, since current development paradigms emphasize intensive and sedenterized farming systems to fulfill the increasing demand for food. Further, there are limited studies and indepth integrated research that help us to understand pastoralism in a holistic way. This study addresses the critical gap in knowledge regarding gender experiences in pastoralism through the synthesis and analysis of five case-studies from the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. The authros argue that pastoralist women are often at the 'margins of margins' of development, yet the knowledge, agency and voices of both men and women are critical for systainable mountain environments and livelihoods.

This publication compares traditional sheep and goat production systems in the Mediterranean that rely on local resources, short supply chains and artisanal transformation practices with value chains based on agribusiness models that use mass distribution channels, concentrate processing work, and intensify production systems. This diversity of production systems has provided many different products, shaped a variety of environments and landscapes, maintained territories and arable and pastoral land uses, and fixed populations in the rural areas. The document compiles the contributions presented at the 15th Seminar of the FAO-CIHEAM Sub-Network on Sheep and Goat Nutrition, held in Montpellier, France in 2015.

The case studies in this paper are drawn from several Ethiopian regional states. They describe not only why, how, and when pastoralists plan, but also the management and governance structures that control planning processes and the later implementation of the plans. By doing this, the paper provides guidance on how best such planning processes can be supported, and how they can be integrated with and/or built on by other planning processes such as those led by government.
