Innovation in governance among pastoralists: Horn of Africa

The report “Innovation in governance: integrating technical and contextual perspectives to address fragility” (2022, 12pp) by Kamran Hakiman & Chloe Stull-Lane, focuses on how using process innovations can improve decision-making within complex environments in the drylands of Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Niger and Somalia. The research centres on the participatory multistakeholder approach SHARED (Stakeholder Approach to Risk-Informed and Evidence-Based Decision Making). This aims to improve decision-making among pastoralists and agropastoralists by embedding technical decisions within an understanding of local social, political and ecological systems.

The research is being carried out within the framework of the SPARC (Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises) project of the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), UK.
