Pastoralists

12/09/2016 - Promoting dialogue, fostering partnerships and finding solutions for the challenges that pastoralists are facing: these are the goals of the Pastoralism and Transhumance Platform, a multi-stakeholder initiative launched in March 2015 by the government of the Central African Republic.

At its second meeting in Bangui in June 2016, the platform brought together government institutions, NGOs, pastoralist networks, security forces including the UN’s peacekeeping mission (MINUSCA), the French military intervention (Operation SANGARIS) and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). FAO is helping to convene the platform.
