Camel Husbandry in the IGAD Region: Use of Indigenous Knowledge, Practices and Local Innovations

Pastoralism is an important means of livelihood in the eight countries comprising the IGAD region, 70% of which are Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL). Pastoralists are dependent on keeping a wide variety of livestock species as their main source of food security and livelihood. Although this system is touted as the most appropriate land use system in these areas, climate change is increasingly posing a serious threat to it. The diversity of livestock species and breed has always ensured the resilience of pastoralists against shocks that may threaten their livelihoods.
