ProjectFactsheetDevelop an IGAD Regional Forestry Policy and Strategy - TCP/SFE/3605 2020
Also available in:
The IGAD is a regional body that coordinates development efforts across its Member States, which include Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. The IGAD area covers an estimated 230 million people and is characterized by high rates of population growth and poverty, with a substantial proportion of people living below the poverty line (USD 1 per day). In IGAD Member States, agriculture is crucial to food security and nutrition, economic growth and social stability. More specifically, for over 80 percent of the population, agricultural production and animal husbandry are important sources of food and livelihood opportunities. Overall, they account for between 25 and 30 percent of national economies within the IGAD area. Pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities are particularly at risk from the effects of recurring droughts in the region. During periods of drought, livestock are highly susceptible to water shortages and pasture scarcity. This can lead to the suffering and death not only of livestock but also of people whose livelihoods depend on them. Further complicating matters, markets often collapse as a result of the sell-off of weaker and thinner animals. In addition, drought affects the seasonal migration patterns of herds, which are required to search for adequate water resources and pastures for grazing. The increased competition for limited natural resources remains a point of conflict both between communities and across borders. The effective management of natural resources therefore requires international cooperation through adequate policies and strategies. While efforts have been made to address concerns regarding the management of some natural resources, policies are not harmonized across the IGAD area and there is often disagreement about the best management approaches to adopt. Additionally, many challenges are faced in the implementation of these policies, including the lack of adequate funding and/or political impetus. -
