Resumen
Descripción
Climate change is one of the main
challenges for pastoralists. Studies have found
statistically significant links between climate and cattle
populations. Pastoralism is becoming an increasingly
precarious livelihood. The World Bank and the
Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) have
developed a strategy to improve the resilience and
sustainability of livestock production in the IGAD region of
Africa. The focus is on ruminants and camels in pastoralist
and agropastoralist (PAP) production systems because of
their particular vulnerability to climate change. The
strategy is based on a wide range of information sources,
including modelling of the resilience of pastoral livestock
systems. This publication summarises the findings of the
modelling undertaken for PAP cattle systems in Oromia,
southern Ethiopia.
