Pastoral women and men are diversifying their livelihoods away from a reliance on livestock towards other income generation activities that raise much needed cash and help dilute risks. Pastoral women in particular are taking up new business opportunities and need support in building financial skills and accessing markets. Commercial trade (selling milk, fuelwood, animals, or other products); wage employment; retail shop activities; rental property ownership; gathering and selling wild products; and farming comprise some livelihood strategies.1 digital file (94 p. : ill.)application/pdfenPASTORALISTSGENDER RELATIONSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONRURAL WOMENPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONINCOME GENERATIONGENDER ROLESINCOME DIVERSIFICATIONLIVELIHOODSWOMEN IN AGRICULTUREACCESS TO CREDITETHIOPIASOUTH OF SAHARABook
