Temporal and spatial variabilities in rainfall, herbaceous production and biomass were studied over a 4-year period in a topographically diverse, arid pastoral region of northwest Kenya. A significant relation between rainfall and primary production was found, and this was applied in a manner tha...

This paper reviews pastoral research and Development perspectives generated from the southern Ethiopian rangelands during the 1980s. This system was selected as a case study of constraints in African pastoral Development because the experiences from both research and Development are fairly well d...

This research article provides insights into the daily lives of one pastoral group in a remote area. Themes include: integration of women in development programs, improving access of rural people to basic essentials, and understanding the degree to which ramifications of seemingly simple technol...

We use herd history data collected among pastoralists in southern Ethiopia to study stochastic wealth dynamics among a poor population. Although covariate rainfall shocks plainly matter, household-specific factors, including own herd size, account for most observed variability in wealth dynamics....
