CELEP’s understanding of pastoralism

In 2020–21, initially the CELEP core group and then other CELEP members and partners engaged in intensive discussion to come to a common understanding of pastoralism. This discussion was based on the pastoral development orientation framework that Saverio Krätli developed for MISEREOR.

In the 3-pager entitled “Pastoralists turn variability into food”, CELEP’s understanding of pastoralism is summarised and some conclusions are drawn about what this means for the way we engage in lobbying and advocacy activities.

There is also a 1.5-page version of the paper that outlines only the absolute basics in understanding pastoralism.
