Making way: developing national legal and
policy frameworks for pastoral mobility

 

Mobility is a vital strategy employed by pastoralists to capitalize on the scarce availability of resources in variable environments, making pastoralism economically feasible and environmentally sustainable. It is an important tool for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. It also serves as a key strategy document for achieving the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration Goals.

 

The importance of pastoral mobility is now being recognized in development discourse. But with a few exceptions, policies have largely not kept up with this new scholarship. There is a lag in and resistance to legislating in favor of mobility.

 

Initiated by the FAO Pastoralist Knowledge Hub, this handbook aims to guide the development of legal and policy frameworks for securing mobility for various pastoral production systems and practices.

 

Through examples and case studies drawn from various parts of the world, the handbook facilitates a deeper understanding of pastoral mobility and identifies considerations to be borne in mind when legislating for mobility. It targets policy-makers and government officials while supporting pastoralists and other advocacy groups in their efforts to influence the development of pro-pastoralist policies.
