Rangelands
The Pastoralist Livelihoods Task Force emerged in April 2005 as an informal collaboration between several civil society organisations and development projects based in northern Tanzania working on livelihoods, rangelands management and policy development issues. Much of the group's focus is on pastoralism, reflecting its constituency.
There is a growing opportunity to work with parliamentarians and central government to heighten awareness and understanding of rangeland livelihood and management issues. In particular there is a strong need from the perspective of CSOs working with rangeland communities in natural resource management for achieving improved policies that better support sustainable livelihoods particularly for pastoralists and agro-pastoralists.
