These reports detail evidence and data of long-term changes in the drylands of Eastern Africa and the implications of these for efforts to strengthen resilience within pastoral systems. A new framework and approach - Pastoralist Livelihood Systems Analysis - has been used to analyse the dynamics and impacts of change over time in five pastoral systems in the region: the Somali zone of Ethiopia, the Borana Plateau in southern Ethiopia, the South Rift Valley in Kenya, the Karamoja region of Uganda, and Bahr al Ghazal in South Sudan. The studies are based on a review of over 400 scholarly and grey literature reports, as well as assessment of over 100 data-sets from the region.

Le sous-groupe "Pastoralisme" du Réseau Agriculture & Sécurité Alimentaire de SDC a lancé un processus de capitalisation de l'expérience face aux défis fondamentaux du pastoralisme en Afrique. En tant que produit clé, une série de notes sur les thèmes prioritaires ont été produites. Elles sont complétées par un visuel multimedia sur l’historique du processus. La capitalisation d’expériences peut servir de bonne pratique pour d’autres processus de capitalisation d’expériences transfrontaliers et transrégionaux.
