The study contributes to building an enabling environment for pastoral sustainable rangeland management through enhanced local-level advocacy based on sound knowledge management on the impact of current policies on pastoralism. This Sudan case study is focused on the national policy towards Traditional Livestock Migration Routes (Darfur States Case). The study evaluates the success of the intervention carried by The Administrative Committee for Routes Delineation - Darfur States (ACRD-DS) and the impact this has had on the wider pastoralist environment. It contributes to WISP’s efforts to demonstrate that, given an enabling policy environment, pastoralists can be the best custodians of the drylands environment.

Transhumant pastoralism is a reality in animal production systems in the Sahel and West Africa (SWA), which despite its importance, it still faces serious obstacles that threaten its potential production. This policy note aims at highlighting the best ways at international and regional levels in order to develop and implement policies and strategies aimed to support transhumant pastoralism while creating conditions for change to sedentary agro-pastoralism.

Many policy makers in East Africa have preconceptions about the value of pastoralism as a land-use system believing it to be economically inefficient and environmentally destructive. Yet, this is not evidence-based. Not only is there no consensus on what is a dynamic economic model of pastoralism, no mechanisms exist to inform government decision-making of its comparative advantages over alternative land uses. A new conceptual framework is needed to assess the value of pastoralism that goes beyond conventional economic criteria in order to provide fresh insights to its contribution to poverty reduction, sustainable environmental management and the economic development of dryland areas of East Africa in the context of increasing climate uncertainty. This paper proposes such a framework.

This paper seeks to provide national and international policy-makers interested in the development of arid and semi-arid areas with background information and policy options, on whether and how to invest in mobility of pastoral systems in Africa. It first describes the trends leading to declining mobility, followed by a description of the key underlying causes for these trends and their impacts on mobile pastoralists. It then provides the rationale for investments and concludes with policy options which policy-makers face when deciding on priorities to be allocated to overall pastoral development, and to specific actions within pastoral development.
