The study found close linkages between a limited ability to manage drought risks – through livestock mobility and access to dry season grazing zones – and conflict. The report also explores the viability of pastoralism as a livelihood option and highlights significant processes of change including livestock depletion, deepening poverty and growing differences in households’ wealth status.
The report concludes with a series of recommendations on the Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction approach, on livelihoods diversification and adaptation, and on the cross-border approach.
