You are cordially invited to the following event organized by FAO Pastoralist Knowledge Hub
CFS43 Side Event
Pastoralism, conflict, land and food security in Africa in the face of climate change
Friday, 21 October 2016 | 08:30 - 10:00 | Iraq Room in FAO
Insecure land rights, extreme weather events, growth in population and an increase in livestock numbers are some factors that cause conflicts between communities in arid and semi-arid areas of the Sahel and the Horn of Africa. The presence of extremist groups and organized crime worsens the situation and threatens to create a vast 'no-go' area.
This event discusses the problems and solutions for conflicts that many pastoralist communities face. Pastoralism is one of the best-suited livelihood options for communities in drylands, but if illegal activities are more profitable than making a living from livestock, many more may decide to join extremist or radical groups.
This side event is co-organised by
· FAO Pastoralist Knowledge Hub and FAO Strategic Programme on Resilience (SP5)
· The World Bank
· Coalition for Pastoral Civil Society Organizations (COPASCO)
· Réseau Billital Maroobé (RBM)
The event will be in English and French.
FAO Pastoralist Knowledge Hub is an initiative that strengthens the capacities of pastoralist organizations, voices pastoral concerns in the UN system, and supports pastoralist representatives participate in political debates.
