Status of mobility of livestock in Kenya and Ethiopia: Mapping of livestock routes and case studies on mobility blockages

Abstract

The authors assess the status of livestock mobility, arterial routes, infrastructure and services in Ethiopia and Kenya. Livestock routes were mapped by government experts from each country on topographical maps and later digitised. Blocked routes were noted, and case studies selected for follow-up local-level qualitative research on causes of these blockages.

This work is part of the Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises (SPARC) programme.
