Abstract:
|
"This paper summarises a research project on pastoralist parliamentary groups (PPGs) in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. It was a joint venture between the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) and the Pastoral and Environmental Network in the Horn of Africa (PENHA). The objective of the project was 'to assess the circumstances in which pastoralist parliamentary groupings can be an effective lobby for pro-poor, pro-pastoralist policy change, and what external assistance they require in this role'. This paper draws on the three country case studies carried out under the project in 2004 and 2005. These studies were based on semi-structured (and structured in the case of Ethiopia) interviews with PPG members and other stakeholders, as well as document review."
