The Role of Pastoralists Tradition/Cultural Institutions in Climate Change Resilience in West Africa

  This is an overview desk study of the role of pastoralists institutions currently, and what their likely roles will be in the future. The particular focus is on resilience in the face of climate change. The study opens by discussing three different perspectives on resilience that have been applied to dryland production systems. We then turn to measures that have been proposed for development resilience that are relevant to dryland production systems. This is followed by a discussion of West African Agropastoral systems, leading to an analysis of the situation in Burkina Faso. We conclude with recommendations for programming in agropastoral systems in Burkina Faso and more broadly in agro-pastoral areas in West Africa.
