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.

Despite worldwide coverage of climate change impact, there is inter and intra-sectoral variation in vulnerability depending on location, adaptive capacity and other socioeconomic and environmental factors. In Somaliland, adverse impacts of climate change include recurrent droughts, increased biodiversity loss, species migration and encroachment of invasive plants, increased rural urban migration, changes in the vegetation types, soil fertility loss, and increased infestation of crop by pests and diseases and increased health risks.
This publication presents case-studies documented by Candlelight for Health, Education and Environment, focusing on how climate change is impacting the pastoral communities and environment as a whole in the different ecological zones of Somaliland.
