Over the past decade, there has been increased attention to social protection in policy dialogues and programmes across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, there has been relatively little systematic analysis and research review work with a focus on pastoral livelihood systems. In addressing this gap, this paper re-examines current debates and practices in SSA’s emerging social protection agenda, focusing on pastoral communities and their livelihood systems.

There are several regional policies and programming initiatives of the AU, COMESA, the EAC, and IGAD in East Africa and the Horn of Africa related to pastoralist area development.

Desertification, insecurity and the loss of grazing land to expanding settlements has led to the southward migration of Nigeria’s pastoralists. This is causing violent competition over land with local farmers. This report analyses the conflict, and recommends some measure for conflict mitigation. To prevent the crisis from escalating, the government should strengthen security for herders and farmers, implement conflict resolution mechanisms and establish grazing reserves.

Pastoralism is defined by the practice of mobile livestock herding though the term often encompasses pastoral farming and enclosed ranching. While it sounds like an outdated and inefficient way of life, pastoralism is highly dynamic and intricately linked to the modern world in a way that contributes significantly to national, regional, and international markets. But there is little doubt that this lifestyle presents significant health challenges and environmental pressures.
This issue of Currents takes a close look at recent studies documenting these challenges—from disease transmission to coping with water scarcity.

Under the jointly funded European Union and ECOWAS “Support to Free Movement of Persons and Migration in West Africa” (FMM West Africa) project, this study was conducted to assess how far and to what effect movement policies, legislation and practices are being applied to transhumant pastoralism and develop recommendations on how ECOWAS Member States – particularly in Mali, the Niger and Nigeria – can improve legislation and policy regarding transhumant pastoralism. This study is set to inform ECOWAS and its member states’ thinking on developing a regulatory framework for transhumant pastoralism in the ECOWAS region that is consistent with the ECOWAS Free Movement of Persons principle and responsive to the substantive changes in this sector.

Several interlinked triggers such as climate change, environmental degradation, lack of resources, and so on, cause large-scale displacement of populations in the Horn of Africa. This may, in turn, trigger conflicts and violence and increase the communities' vulnerability to natural hazards. There is a great need to address the risk and impacts of displacement caused by disasters and exacerbated by climate change. But to be able to do this, governments need baseline data regarding current displacement.
This report provides such a baseline for the Greater Horn of Africa - Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda, plus Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania - with the ultimate aim of reducing future displacement risk. These countries also have a large pastoralist population. The report gives an overview of the scale, scope and distribution of risk associated with suddenonset natural hazards, and explains the methodology used to calculate it.
