The Pastoralist Field School approach is an adaptation of the innovative, participatory and interactive learning approach; Farmer Field Schools.
Pastoralist Field Schools are essentially schools without walls that introduce new technological innovations while building on indigenous knowledge. Through experiential and participatory learning techniques applied in a group setting, with regular meetings over a longer time period, pastoralists learn how to analyse their situation and make informed decisions about their livelihood practices and resource use strategies. The approach empowers pastoralists rather than advising them on what to do.
This training manual is designed to be used by master trainers during the training of facilitators.

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.
