The production systems are defined according to the ratio of livestock- to crop-derived income. If L is defined as the total household income derived from livestock and C as the total household income derived from crops, then for pastoral production systems: L/C > 4; for agro-pastoral systems: 1 < L/C < 4; and for mixed farming systems L/C < 1. The map is based on datasets collected in the framework of livelihood analysis in the period 2000 and 2007. Input data were available for Djibouti, Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda and parts of Ethiopia and Sudan. Data on these countries and regions provided the training data for the subsequent statistical analysis based on environmental and other geospatial predictors, which resulted in a full regional map. More detailed information on this datasets is available in “Geographic distribution and environmental characterization of livestock production systems in Eastern Africa”, 2009. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 135, 98-110. This dataset was produced in the framework of a collaboration between the Intergovernmental Authority on Development - Livestock Policy Initiative (IGAD LPI) and the Programme against African Trypanosomiasis (PAAT). IGAD-LPI is a project that aims to enhance the contribution of the livestock sector to sustainable food security and poverty reduction in the IGAD region. PAAT is an alliance of international organizations assisting African countries to promote rural development in areas affected by tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis. Detailed information on the role of livestock in livelihoods is needed by both initiatives for a range of policy and technical applications.
