To address this, the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) has adopted participatory scenario planning (PSP), which is a mechanism for collective sharing and interpretation of climate information for informed decision-making tailored to specific communities. PSP plays an important role in decision-making, supporting farmers and pastoralists in their seasonal activities by providing essential information to guide crop type and variety selection as well as livestock management.yt:video:qZCIf0e5M_QqZCIf0e5M_QUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwEarly warning systems and humanitarian responses in the Sudano-Sahel and the Greater Horn of AfricaInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2024-02-28T06:32:39+00:002026-04-13T17:34:35+00:00Early warning systems and humanitarian responses in the Sudano-Sahel and the Greater Horn of AfricaElizabeth Stites (Tufts University) introduced insights from a USAID-supported study on humanitarian action and pastoral systems at an 8 February 2024 dialogue on Policy Linkages for Effective Early Warning, Anticipatory Action, Humanitarian Response and Resilience Building in Pastoral Areas of the Horn of Africa, hosted by ILRI and co-organized by the Center for Research and Development in the Drylands, the Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action, and the Feinstein International Center at Tufts University.yt:video:Kkv5PVV1wdsKkv5PVV1wdsUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwIntroducing the Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early ActionInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2024-02-28T06:30:52+00:002026-05-24T21:08:11+00:00Introducing the Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early ActionGuyo Malicha Roba (ILRI and Jameel Observatory) introduced its work at an 8 February 2024 dialogue on Policy Linkages for Effective Early Warning, Anticipatory Action, Humanitarian Response and Resilience Building in Pastoral Areas of the Horn of Africa, hosted by ILRI and co-organized by the Center for Research and Development in the Drylands, the Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action, and the Feinstein International Center at Tufts University.yt:video:zCj1TaM8lX8zCj1TaM8lX8UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwPolicy and practice disconnects and resilience building in pastoral areas of the Horn of AfricaInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2024-02-28T06:30:16+00:002026-04-29T20:43:26+00:00Policy and practice disconnects and resilience building in pastoral areas of the Horn of AfricaIan Scoones (University of Sussex) framed the discussions at an 8 February 2024 dialogue on Policy Linkages for Effective Early Warning, Anticipatory Action, Humanitarian Response and Resilience Building in Pastoral Areas of the Horn of Africa, hosted by ILRI and co-organized by the Center for Research and Development in the Drylands, the Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action, and the Feinstein International Center at Tufts University.yt:video:CHQoupxgAuQCHQoupxgAuQUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwExploring local constructs of ‘resilience’ in the face of chronic uncertainty in the drylandsInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2024-02-28T06:29:02+00:002026-04-28T18:02:11+00:00Exploring local constructs of ‘resilience’ in the face of chronic uncertainty in the drylandsHussein Tadicha (Center for Research and Development in the Drylands) introduced an ACIAR-supported project on resilience from below at an 8 February 2024 dialogue on Policy Linkages for Effective Early Warning, Anticipatory Action, Humanitarian Response and Resilience Building in Pastoral Areas of the Horn of Africa, hosted by ILRI and co-organized by the Center for Research and Development in the Drylands, the Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action, and the Feinstein International Center at Tufts University.yt:video:K4dpmfzEASoK4dpmfzEASoUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwStrengthening Africa’s pastoral food systems transformation in the face of climate changeInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2022-09-09T07:05:18+00:002026-04-29T05:41:04+00:00Strengthening Africa’s pastoral food systems transformation in the face of climate changeThis short interview with ILRI’s drought-risk finance specialist, Rupsha Banerjee, describes how sustainable pastoralism can contribute to Africa’s food systems transformation.

For rangelands around the world, pastoralists are essential, and central, to nature conservation. Rangelands, where pastoralists live, make up more than half of the world’s land surface and are vitally important. These are highly biodiverse ‘open ecosystems’, where trees and grasses are mixed in variegated patches maintained by the grazing of wild and domesticated animals.yt:video:5nJXg__DDdg5nJXg__DDdgUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwRangelands Communities Exchange Conference: Community resource management in Kenyan rangelandsInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2018-10-30T11:20:41+00:002026-04-28T19:13:52+00:00Rangelands Communities Exchange Conference: Community resource management in Kenyan rangelandsIn January 2018, the Rangelands Association of Kenya and ILRI partnered to host the Rangeland Communities Exchange Conference. ILRI’s support to the conference was undertaken through the 'Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: Taking successes in land restoration to scale' project. The conference facilitated community-to-community exchange of knowledge on rangeland management practices and on the ways in which management and governance frameworks interact with these practices.yt:video:UskGMIkG6_0UskGMIkG6_0UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwConventions locales de gestion des ressources naturelles: schema pastoral au sud du MaliInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2016-10-14T10:38:11+00:002026-05-28T22:01:35+00:00Conventions locales de gestion des ressources naturelles: schema pastoral au sud du MaliEn Afrique de l’Ouest, comme dans la plupart des pays d’Afrique Sub-Sahélienne, les ressources naturelles constituent la base de la vie quotidienne des hommes, particulièrement pour les pauvres qui dans la majorité des cas vivent dans le milieu rural où leur moyens de subsistances dépendent presque exclusivement des activités agricoles et de l’élevage. La production agricole et l’élevage caractérise essentiellement l’économie de la région et se situe au cœur de l’utilisation des ressources naturelles au Sahel et en Afrique de l’Ouest. De nombreux facteurs, tels que l’augmentation constante de la population et l’accroissement des troupeaux, ont pour conséquence l’apparition d’une pression croissante sur ces ressources. Cette vidéo met en évidence une tentative réussie par ILRI et Ammed pour arrêter ce problème dans le sud du Mali.yt:video:NujCbg7Z6KMNujCbg7Z6KMUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwRepeated droughts and hazards are the real challenge for Pastoralist communitiesInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2016-06-12T13:10:12+00:002026-04-21T18:56:27+00:00Repeated droughts and hazards are the real challenge for Pastoralist communitiesJan de Leeuw from ILRI reflects on the impacts of droughts and hazards on pastoral communities in Africa. He argues that pastoralists are often well-adapted to short term hazards and droughts. A single-season drought weakens livestock and communities. When rains fail repeatedly however, the problems start, and the impacts can be long-lasting. He was talking in the margins of the recent conference in Addis Ababa on the future of pastoralism in Africa. The Addis Ababa conference (21-23 March 2011) was organized by the Future Agricultures Consortium with Tufts University.yt:video:eNX2qH-QJrQeNX2qH-QJrQUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwPastoral issues must be part of ILRI’s research agenda into the futureInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2016-06-12T12:49:29+00:002026-05-20T23:58:28+00:00Pastoral issues must be part of ILRI’s research agenda into the futureIan Scoones, Science Adviser to ILRI reflects on the recent conference on the future of pastoralism and the work of ILRI in this area. He argues that pastoralism ‘must be part of ILRI’s research agenda into the future.” He identifies two promising areas: First, to engage in technical research on production issues in pastoral areas and pastoral systems - to sustain the enormous economic potential of such areas. Second, to support the broader area of innovation. As pastoral systems change and evolve, there is enormous innovation in these systems themselves, he gives an example from camel markets in northern Kenya. “There is a great opportunity for ILRI scientists to engage with innovators outside the formal scientific research system, who are pastoralists themselves.” The Addis Ababa conference on the future of pastoralism in Africa (21-23 March 2011) was organized by the Future Agricultures Consortium with Tufts University.yt:video:8EHgnv4HrTA8EHgnv4HrTAUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwMichael Carter interview at the Index-Based Livestock Insurance policy workshopInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2015-08-18T10:22:44+00:002026-04-15T00:54:18+00:00Michael Carter interview at the Index-Based Livestock Insurance policy workshopComments from Michael Carter, Professor at the University of California, at an Index-Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) policy workshop held 9 June 2015 at ILRI in Nairobi.yt:video:IIhgl28mGBwIIhgl28mGBwUC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCwHassan Bashir interview at the Index-Based Livestock Insurance policy workshopInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw2015-07-13T15:25:26+00:002026-04-21T17:47:39+00:00Hassan Bashir interview at the Index-Based Livestock Insurance policy workshopComments from Hassan Bashir, CEO Takaful Insurance of Africa, at an Index-Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) policy workshop held 9 June 2015 at ILRI in Nairobi.
