The needs of nomadic pastoralists are generally complex and those relating to the provision of education need special attention due to the many challenges facing the children and the communities. Recognizing this, the Ministry of Education in Kenya, in collaboration with its development partners, has drafted this policy framework to enable Kenya’s nomadic communities to access basic education and training.
The Ministry acknowledges that education cannot be provided to nomadic communities without taking their socio-cultural and other developmental concerns into consideration. Therefore, it proposes multiple approaches such as mobile schools, non-formal schools, formal schools, and boarding schools, as well as creating linkages between these approaches. The policy framework is therefore aimed at providing broad guidelines for the coordination and harmonization of efforts in the delivery of quality educational services to nomadic communities.

Los derechos milenarios de los ganaderos a desplazarse libremente por el territorio nacional fueron reconocidos en 1212 en Aragón por Jaime I, con el Fuero de Pastura universal, y en 1273 en Castilla y León por Alfonso X, con la creación del Concejo de la Mesta. La importancia que adquirió la trashumancia en España es debida a la alternancia de recursos pastables alternativos en invierno y en verano, para lo cual los ganados deben desplazarse frecuentemente a larga distancia, entre 400 y 600 Km, recorriendo las cañadas durante 4 o 6 semanas en primavera y algo más en otoño, al ser las noches más prolongadas. El mayor beneficio se obtenía del comercio de la lana de las ovejas merinas, la más fina del mundo, y que se exportaba a todos los países europeos. Constituyó un preciado monopolio español hasta la invasión napoleónica del siglo XIX.

Recognizing the crucial role of dryland mountains in implementing a truly sustainable development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) together with the Mountain Partnership Secretariat, the UNCCD Secretariat, the Centre for Development and Environment of the University of Bern and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, identified an urgent need to prepare this publication. It provides an overall vision of the ecological, social and cultural features of dryland mountain socio-ecosystems, and aims to demonstrate the importance of investing human and financial resources in dryland mountains ecosystems worldwide in order to limit the impact of global change on the livelihoods and natural resources.
