Tätigkeitsbereich

Transhumance – a process whereby herders and their herds of animals seasonally move between grazing areas – is the most important form of livestock production around Lake Chad in Central and Western Africa. As such, it makes an essential contribution to the region’s economy and food security. The regional programme „Peaceful and inclusive transhumance” (PETRA) provides advice to regional organisations to further develop and harmonise laws concerning transhumance between Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria. It also contributes to the improvement of strategies and programmes for transhumance.
The programme supports regional authorities in the inclusive management of transhumance and the development of mechanisms for preventing conflicts – for example, making it common practice for regional governments to manage pastoralists’ movements to different grazing areas at certain times of the year. This is linked to an approach of integrated natural resources management.
Last but not least, the project also documents best practices of transhumance and promotes the exchange of experiences across institutions and borders.
