The purpose of this project is to identify intervention options (technical, policy, and institutional) that reduce the vulnerability of livestock keepers and/or communities dependent on livestock for their livelihoods to climatic shocks, particularly droughts, in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems in East and West Africa and the vulnerability of livestock to shocks. This purpose addresses the need to reduce vulnerability of both the pastoralists/agro-pastoralists and their livestock to droughts (securing livestock assets). Securing livestock assets is important in view of the roles they play in drought mitigation and coping strategies in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems
