Synopsis (short abstract) Nomadic pastoralism and agropastoralism are the prevailing livestock production systems in Somalia, with a minimal proportion of livestock raised in (peri-)urban stall-feeding operations, amplifying the vulnerability of these traditional livelihoods to the recurring challenges posed by drought. The primary objective of this paper is to present a quantitative assessment of the impact of the 2016/17 drought on the livestock sector and the livelihoods of livestock-keeping households in Somalia. This analysis draws upon the findings of the drought impact and needs assessment (DINA I, II & III) conducted by the World Bank, United Nations, European Union, and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GDFRR) in late 2017.
