This final part of the course, with a lecture by Michele Nori, introduces the policy frames that inform decision making in pastoral regions of the globe – Sub-Saharan Africa, the Maghreb and Mashreq, Europe, and Asia.
Policy frameworks are seldom friendly to herding communities. A renewed social contract that addresses the rights, needs and interest of pastoral communities is needed to reverse growingly insecure conditions and livelihoods in most pastoral regions.
