Changes in the arid lands: the expanding rangeland - regional synthesis report and case studies from Kenya, Ethiopia and Somaliland

This research study captures the enormous change ongoing in the arid lands in the aftermath of the drought and famine of 2011. It takes a snapshot of changes affecting people’s lives in Shinile and Jijiga (Ethiopia), Togdheer (Somaliland) and Turkana (Kenya). The research gives voice to the people of pastoral and non-pastoral, chronically drought affected communities in the arid lands about what they want to do with their lives, in order to understand what is expected to be seen ten years from now and what is needed to support people to achieve their desired future.
