This report calculates the direct use value of livestock in Karamoja Sub-region, Uganda. The concept of direct use value pulls together under one heading all the various economic benefits derived from livestock. These include products such as milk, blood and meat; physical services such as the cultivation by animal traction of arable fields; and financial services such as livestock-based credit, insurance and risk management. In these calculations, goods and services that are not marketed are assigned monetary values that reflect their potential commercial value. This approach generates a comprehensive estimate of the economic benefits derived from livestock by livestock owners in Karamoja and provides an evidence-based assessment of the value of the sub-region’s livestock to the Ugandan national economy.

“Strengthening the Livelihoods Resilience of Pastoral and Agropastoral Communities in South Sudan’s Cross-border Areas with Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda” is a three-year project funded by European Union that aims to improve governance and conflict prevention to reduce forced displacement and irregular migration in the cross-border areas of South Sudan. This publication is a baseline study and its main objective is to collect information on the indicators that will be used to estimate the impact of the cross-border project after its three year implementation. An additional objective is to gain a better understanding of the drivers of instability and irregular migration, as well as of the determinants of food security and resilience. The primary tool used in this study is the RIMA-II model developed by FAO. This report presents the results of the baseline survey; it is based on data collected by FAO and partners during July - August 2017 under the nationwide Food Security and Nutrition Monitoring Survey (FSNMS), triangulated with qualitative data from secondary sources.

La campagne agropastorale 2017/18 au Sahel a été marquée par un déficit et une mauvaise répartition spatio-temporelle des pluies. Une diminution importante de la production de biomasse, ainsi qu’un tarissement précoce des points d’eau ont été constatés dès la fin de la saison des pluies.
Les productions fourragères très faibles et quasi inexistantes dans certaines zones d’élevage en Mauritanie, au nord du Sénégal, au Sahel Burkinabé, au nord et à l’est du Niger, à l’ouest et à l’est du Sahel tchadien et par endroits au Mali, ont causé une soudure pastorale précoce ayant touché en particulier les populations rurales de ces zones ainsi que celles qui vivent dans les zones de concentration de bétail. Pour atténuer l’impact de la crise et renforcer la résilience des populations affectées, la FAO a conçu un mécanisme de réponse d’urgence qui a été mis en oeuvre par les bureaux de la FAO dans les six pays touchés – Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritanie, Niger, Sénégal et Tchad.

This book is a call to act more strategically and draw lessons from 50 years of pastoral and agropastoral development investments, interventions and implementation in Ethiopia. It outlines the more resilient, prosperous, and sustainable pathways for pastoral and agropastoral livelihoods in the future. The book combines the results of an impact analysis of the development investments over half a century, a review of the existing thinking in pastoral and agropastoral development, and an assessment of the current socioeconomic conditions affecting pastoral and agropastoral communities. The aim is to paint a compelling picture of present pastoral and agropastoral development trends in Ethiopia and suggest alternative pathways for the future. Considering the challenges as well as the opportunities available in Ethiopia’s pastoral and agropastoral areas, recommendations are provided for future interventions to achieve drought-resilient, transformed, and sustainable pastoral and agropastoral livelihoods, ecosystems, and institutions that would result in peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous pastoral and agropastoral communities.

Indeed the considerable contribution of rangelands to livelihoods and national economies is being increasingly recognized. While acknowledging the very specific and widespread challenges of the rangelands, a review of their role and potential is emerging. This change in position has been informed by better understanding and appreciation of their social, ecological and economical dynamics, and the management systems that are evolving over centuries. Nevertheless, there remains confusion in the discourse of rangelands and their importance, role and future. The overall goal of these guidelines is to contribute to improved rangeland management by illustrating a wide range of innovative rangeland management practices. This is by grouping them, clarifying their characteristics and requirements, and by illustrating their impacts on ecosystem services and human wellbeing. The ultimate aim is to demonstrate – through this unique set of convincing case studies – the value and potential of investment in rangelands. It is also hoped that these guidelines will stimulate, and assist, the identification of further cases.
