Across the Horn of Africa, pastoralist areas have been one of the most persistent and difficult challenges for governments, and development and humanitarian agencies. Although often viewed as physically remote, universally poor, and subject to droughts and conflicts, in reality, these areas can also be economic hubs, with substantial livestock trade networks to local markets, and crossing borders to neighboring countries. Ethiopia, Somalia, Somaliland, and Sudan are all major exporters of livestock with most of these animals are sourced from pastoralist areas, or from producers who rely on mobile production systems. This synthesis paper reviews 20 years of research and focuses on the increasing socioeconomic differentiation in selected pastoralist areas, and the implications in terms of pathways to resilience.

Resilience is defined as the ability of people to mitigate, weather, and “bounce back” from shocks or adversity. However, understanding the resilience of people and their livelihoods to the kinds of shocks and stresses associated with violent conflict requires a different set of analyses. This paper reviews over fifteen years of research by the Feinstein International Center, Freidman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in order to examine the nexus of conflict, livelihoods, and resilience.

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a deadly, fast spreading viral disease that kills 90% of the animals it infects. This affects 300 million families across Africa, Middle East, Turkey and Asia, pushing them into poverty and food insecurity. But PPR is easily diagnosed and can be prevented with a reliable and affordable vaccine that provides lifelong immunity from the disease.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organization for Animal Health (OiE) have been working with communities and governments around the world on a global strategy to end PPR and move a step closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This video aims to create awareness about the disease as a step towards its control and complete eradication by 2030.
