Ensuring peaceful livestock mobility

PREDIP experiments and lessons learnt

Livestock farming plays a central role in the national and regional economies of West
Africa. It accounts for up to 10-15% of the GDP of the Sahelian states1 and contributes
to the local economies of the host areas of transhumant livestock farmers2. It is a major
source of income and employment throughout the sector, providing up to 99% of the red
meat consumed in the sub-region. Pastoral and agropastoral livestock farming systems,
based on the mobility of livestock, are still largely dominant in the sub-region. Several
regional pastoral development initiatives, such as the Projet régional d’appui au
pastoralisme au Sahel or Sahel Regional Pastoralism Support Project (PRAPS), the
Projet régional de dialogue et d’investissement pour le pastoralisme et la transhumance au Sahel et dans les pays côtiers de l’Afrique de l’Ouest or Regional dialogue and Investment Project for Pastoralism and Transhumance in the Sahel and Coastal Countries of West Africa (PREDIP) and the Projet Elevages et pastoralisme intégrés et sécurisés en Afrique de l’Ouest or Integrated and Secure Livestock Production systems and Pastoralism in West Africa Project (PEPISAO), have been developed and implemented by the Permanent Inter-state Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS).
