COMMENTARY

Taking into consideration the livelihood of people in pastoral systems? This activity is part of a sectoral strategy aimed at improving the accessibility of education services in pastoral areas by finally taking into account the livelihood of people in pastoral systems. Achieving this goal necessarily involves substantial adaptation in the provision of educational services, especially formal primary education. Such a process of adaptation would seem to represent a key dimension in any plan to build the capacity of staff in the educational sector. Yet there is no mention of it in the description of this activity. This a possible line of policy intervention to be developed at the level of regional states.
