Welcome to CELEP

Welcome to the website of CELEP, an informal advocacy coalition of European organisations, groups and experts working in partnership with pastoralist organisations, groups and experts in Eastern Africa. Pastoralism is an extensive form of livestock keeping practised in (semi-)arid lands in which – among others – seasonal livestock mobility and the strategic use of key natural resources are crucial elements. CELEP seeks to influence policymaking in Europe and – through its Eastern African partners – also in Africa to recognise and support Eastern African pastoralism as a sustainable viable livelihood system. On this website, you will read about the latest news, documents and articles related to the activities and interests of the CELEP coalition.
