In the context of East African pastoralism, improved risk management is proposed to offer ways to promote wealth conservation, reduce poverty, mitigate conflicts, and enhance food security at the household level. The Pastoral Risk Management (PARIMA) project is a multi-disciplinary, effort funded...

The pastoral areas of Ethiopia are one of the most drought-vulnerable with chronic food deficiencies between 1980-1 and 1999-2000 these areas suffered 3 major droughts. In all droughts the Borana pastoralists lost 35-67 percent of their livestock. The position of the southern Ethiopian rangelands...

Standard methods are needed to collect data to evaluate the performance of agricultural systems. Standardization allows comparisons across systems, and potentially the extrapolation of recommendations to similar development domains. The Integrated Modelling Platform for Mixed Animal Crop Systems ...

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....
