The voice of pastoralists is fundamental for achieving fair and sustainable development of pastoralist communities. The Pastoralist Knowledge Hub integrates pastoralists by offering a tool for establishing a participation mechanism.

The mechanism brings representatives of pastoral networks together to discuss the views of pastoral communities on certain topics that are being discussed at the international level. The Committee on World Food Security is an example of an important forum for food security issues. The pastoral networks nominate representatives who legitimately represent their views and position at such fora.
