Promoting investment in pastoral & agropastoral systems in IGAD region

The Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD) of the Intergovernmental Agency for Development (IGAD), in partnership with AFD (French Development Agency), conducted a regional study on (agro)pastoral systems in East and the Horn of Africa. The ICPALD policy brief “Promoting investment in climate smart livestock in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems for co-benefit of environment and livelihood” (2024, 4pp) highlights how pastoralists and agropastoralists in this region are adapting to change, practising communal rangeland management, improving grazing and soil carbon storage, and experimenting with different species and breeds of livestock.
