In a context of endemic poverty and strong population growth, traditional cattle corridors are disappearing due to extension of agriculture activities on land, traditionally reserved for pastoral activities. This increasingly leads to conflicts between pastoralists and sedentary farmers. The Project works closely with local authorities, sedentary farmers and pastoralist networks and proposes an innovative methodology which aims at securing the traditional corridors as well as supporting conflict resolution mechanisms along the rehabilitated areas.
