Abstract

This study also sought to identify the constraints to people’s livelihood changes and whom they most affect. Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crises  (SPARC) collected stories from 3 locations. Positive stories were identified through group discussions and through snowball sampling.

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