Sustainable Ecosystem Management (SEM) for Pastoralism in Cross-border Areas of IGAD Region

Implementation Modalities

The SEM project will be implemented by IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD) in close collaboration and partnership with relevant government ministries, other non-governmental organizations, and within communities. At ICPALD, it will be led by the Technical Officer supported by a thematic technical team. At country level, ICPALD will work with relevant government staff at national and local levels. The team will be guide by a project steering committee (PSC) that will meet once per year to review the project implementation status and give necessary guidance to enhance efficiency.
