Abstract
“A rich herder can become poor in only one winter.” Given the central place of the livestock economy, the focus is on improving the quality of animals, diversifying production and income, and on adding value to products. Findings indicate that collaborative learning for the community-based co-management practices have had a positive impact on the natural resource base in the pilot study sites and on the livelihoods of herders. Success depends on a favorable legal atmosphere, longterm supportive government policies and actions, and endurance of local people to withstand failures and overcome many challenges. Project research, activities and outputs are reviewed.
