Participatory Mapping of Key Shared Resources & Ecosystems in Cross-Border Areas

The IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD), in collaboration with partners, is currently carrying out a project focused on Sustainable Ecosystem Management (SEM) for pastoralism in cross-border areas of the IGAD region. The primary objective of the project is to enhance the resilience of pastoralist
and agro-pastoralist livelihoods through sustainable management and the use of shared rangelands in cross-border areas of the IGAD region. The project is specifically being implemented in the cross-border areas of Kapoeta East County (South Sudan)-Kaabong District (Uganda) and Benishangul-Gumuz Region (Ethiopia)-Blue Nile State (Sudan), corresponding to the shared ecosystem and transhumance routes.
