The Policy Framework for Pastoralism in Africa, as presented in this report, is the first continent-wide policy initiative aiming to secure, protect and improve the lives of African pastoralists. Pastoralists make crucial – but often undervalued – contributions to economies in Africa in terms of their production systems, culture, and animal and plant resources. Yet human development and food security indicators in many pastoral areas are among the lowest on the continent. The objectives of the framework are to protect the lives, livelihoods and rights of pastoral people, and to reinforce the contribution of pastoral livestock to national, regional and continent-wide economies.

Providing empirical evidence from Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique, and from different production systems, this book illustrates that livestock is an important asset to women and their participation in livestock and livestock product markets. It explores the issues of intra-household income management and economic benefits of livestock markets to women, focusing on how the types of markets and products, and women’s participation in markets, influence their access to livestock income.
The book further analyzes the role of livestock ownership, especially by women, in influencing household food security by increasing household dietary diversity and food adequacy. Additional issues addressed include access to resources, information, and financial services to enable women to more effectively participate in livestock production and marketing. Factors that influence this access are also examined.
Practical strategies for increasing women’s market participation and access to information and services are discussed. The book ends with recommendations on how to mainstream gender in livestock research and development if livestock ownership is to serve as a pathway out of poverty, especially for women.

Pastoral women are key agents in livelihood development. They engage in socioeconomic and cultural activities, and in the conservation and management of natural resources. Despite the many challenges they face, pastoral women are resourceful in finding ways to ensure that their households’ basic needs are met. However, their valuable role is only partially recognized. Pastoral women are particularly disadvantaged by the limitations they face within their own societies, for example in owning property or participating in decision-making processes. This paper focuses on empowerment as a process for enabling pastoralist women to achieve better lives for themselves, their families and their communities.

El Libro Blanco de la Trashumancia en España es un compendio del conocimiento existente sobre esta práctica, ancestral y moderna, que tiene como objeto orientar la elaboración de políticas pastoriles futuras.
La práctica pastoril en España, como en toda la cuenca mediterránea, se caracteriza por la práctica de la trashumancia. Su longitud y características vienen determinadas por las condiciones climáticas a las que se adapta. El Libro Blanco es un diagnóstico para hacer frente a la falta de información existente, con objeto de identificar soluciones a los problemas detectados. Dichas soluciones deben ser consensuadas entre todos los sectores implicados, incluyendo los pastores trashumantes. Este colectivo ha estado hasta ahora desestructurado y sin representación en ningún foro, pero como primer lobro de esta obra se ha constituido la Asociación Ibérica de Pastores Trashumantes. El Libro Blanco identifica el trasfondo histórico, ecológico y geográfico e identifica las acciones políticas necesarias para conseguir una práctica pastoril moderna, actualizada, viva y llena de futuro.

The role of communities in animal genetic resource conservation still remains largely invisible to scientists and bureaucrats. Livestock keepers in Pakistan, India and Kenya have developed community protocols to improve the visibility of the role of livestock keepers in conserving genetic resources, addressing problems of access to grazing land and conserving threatened breeds, as well as asserting customary rights in order to secure benefits from commercial use. This article examines three different experiences – the Pashtoon, Raika and Samburu BCPs – and the extent to which these were community-driven processes. It looks at whether and how communities have been able to make use of the protocols in the struggle to have their rights recognised. It concludes that BCPs are extremely useful for making visible the connection between communities and their breeds and important for securing the assets of livestock keepers in the long term.
