Pastoral mobility must be preserved to ensure Mongolian rangeland sustainability. Pastoralism in Mongolia is currently going through major transformations (pasture user groups, cooperatives, draft Land Law, climate change, conflicting forms of land use i.e. mining, cropping, national reserves). In this new context, the value of mobility might not be fully appreciated in new policy formulations, which could weaken Mongolian pastoral systems. Supporting mobility requires an adequate institutional framework in the provision of services (e.g. water, veterinary, education and health) and institutional flexibility with stronger and reciprocal intersoum inter-aymag agreements for hosting neighboring herders during climate shocks.

This evaluation has three objectives: i) evaluate the overall relevance and coherence of AFD Group interventions; ii) assess the performance of pastoral water projects; iii) propose strategies for continuing the process (with significant changes) or gradually winding it down. This exercise covered 11 projects implemented in three areas of Chad between 1993 and 2013.

Пасторализм лежит на стыке трех столпов устойчивого развития и обеспечивает сочетание социальных, экологических и экономических выгод. Он использует обширные участки земли, которые могут лучше всего подходить для многоцелевого использования: обширное производство высококачественных продуктов питания в сочетании с поставкой высокоценных экосистемных услуг. Направления политики, государственные службы и инвестиции должны быть адаптированы для поддержки этой комбинации использования и для того, чтобы весь спектр преимуществ был адекватно компенсирован и защищен.

Rangelands are large natural landscapes that can include grasslands, shrublands, savannahs and woodlands. They are greatly influenced by, and often dependent on, the action of herbivores. In the majority of rangelands the dominant herbivores are found in domestic herds that are managed by mobile pastoralists. Most pastoralists manage their rangelands communally, benefitting from the greater flexibility and seasonal resource access that common property regimes can offer. As this book shows, this creates a major challenge for governance and institutions.

What is the magnitude of pastoralism? The issue of the social and economic importance of pastoral systems is closely related with policies of land use. Overestimating the importance of pastoral systems, or downplaying it, can slow down development and lead to undesirable consequences. This study looks at the demand, the supply, and the future concerning data on the magnitude of pastoral systems in Kenya.
