Survival of the fittest: Pastoralism and climate change in East Africa
... For decades pastoralists have been side-lined in decision-making processes in East Africa. The result is chronic under-investment in pastoralist communities across the region, and the consequent increase in vulnerability. Pastoralist communities are marginalised on the basis of their geographical re ...
