Video on Participatory Rangeland Management

A number of external and internal forces are putting pressure on rangeland resources, often leading to overuse and degradation and conflicts between rangeland users, including pastoralists. Specific ways to deal with these challenges have been developed over the years, including improved rangeland management approaches. In Ethiopia, Participatory Rangeland Management (PRM) has been adopted as an approach for improved rangeland management and to better secure rights to resources in pastoralist areas, not only improving technical inputs but also strengthening governance and tenure security of rangelands. Since 2019, PRM is being piloted in Kenya and Tanzania through an EU-funded project managed by RECONCILE, the CELEP focal point for Eastern Africa and in charge of coordinating the African component of the Rangelands Initiative of the International Land Coalition(ILC). Other partners involved in the project include Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and CELEP, through its European focal point at VSF-Belgium. The PRM process is now progressing well in both Tanzania and Kenya, and lessons can be drawn from its current application as well from its application in Ethiopia. The video below illustrates the different steps of the PRM process and explains how they are being developed in Kenya and Tanzania. A must watch!
