dc.description.abstractNon-traditional agricultural commodities (hides, sesame seeds, medicinal plants, gums and resins) are neglected by national policies and development interventions. Little attention is given to informal and domestic markets where the majority of rural communities trade. Economically, natural resources and environment are poorly understood, and as a result are not adequately reflected in national accounts. Environment and natural resource policies, laws, regulations and guidelines need to integrate the meaningful participation of local communities with adequate resources for implementation. Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda make up the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region, one of the poorest regions on earth.en
