How to do note: Engaging with pastoralists – a holistic development approach

This How To Do Note first outlines the problems developers need to be aware of in pastoral development.

It also indicates which IFAD policies are relevant for the key issues of pastoral development and provides guidelines for engaging in pastoral development in IFAD-supported projects and programmes.

It describes how to balance and apply IFAD’s procedures, instruments and practical guidances.
