The Pastoralist Knowledge Hub (PKH) brings together pastoralists and international actors to integrate pastoralism and pastoralism-related matters into international policy dialogue. One of the key pillars of the Hub is to foster alliances among key partners with a common vision towards achieving sustainable pastoralism and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Hub has 40 partners consisting of intergovernmental organizations, public institutions, multi-stakeholder partnerships, research centres, and international, regional and national civil society organizations.

Annually, the PKH holds a partners’ meeting to review its progress, share on activities together with partners on pastoralism across the world, and discuss future initiatives and avenues for engagement.

This year the PKH is calling for a virtual partners’ meeting to share on partners’ activities and discuss some of the biggest highlights of the year, like the Committee of Agriculture 2020 outcome on the endorsement of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP), and the request to FAO to mainstream rangelands and pastoralism in its technical and policy programs. This meeting anticipates to continue creating synergies among partners towards the shared vision of improving pastoralist livelihoods, as joint efforts are crucial to achieving effective outcomes.
