Regional networks
Structuring pastoralist participation according to geographical criteria facilitates easier communication among members, reduces meeting costs due to geographic proximity, and promotes regional cooperation to enhance advocacy at regional bodies. Participation is organized by the regions to which pastoralists belong. This approach enables dialogues in the language shared by each region and allows for discussions on critical regional issues.
One of the main achievements of the Hub has been supporting the establishment and strengthening of eight regional pastoralist networks that aim to influence policies and legislation in their regions.
