Diverse livelihood pathways in the Horn of Africa

A fundamental shift in thinking is needed about pastoralist livelihoods – recognising innovation and entrepreneurism, not just coping and migration, and cooperation and networking across borders, not just conflict and violence.

It reviews understandings and misunderstandings about pastoralism and highlights multiple pathways for future development of the drylands in the Horn.
