Accompagner la mobilité pastorale au Tchad
Cet article est basé sur l’évaluation de vingt ans d’interventions en hydraulique pastorale au Tchad soutenues par une agence de coopération internationale pour le développement. Il met en évidence un changement radical d’approche chez les bailleurs de fond et les pouvoirs publics : de la vision de la fourniture d’eau comme une fin en soi (sectorielle) à celle de l’eau comme moyen de sécuriser la mobilité pastorale (systémique). Dans la pratique,…
Why Are Rural People Vulnerable to Famine
Drought and Zud but No Famine (Yet) in the Mongolian Herding Economy
War and Rural Development in Africa
Understanding And Preventing Famine and Famine Mortality
Local Customary Institutions as the Basis for Natural Resource Management Among Boran Pastoralists in Northern Kenya
Policies for natural resource management and conservation often depend on new types of institution for their implementation, although the record of such innovation is poor. Research among the pastoral Boran of northern Kenya shows that customary institutions effectively manage many aspects of natural resource use, and could provide the starting point for new natural resource management policies.

Is Food Security Targeting Possible in Sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence from North Sudan
Targeting food security interventions in sub?Saharan Africa presents special difficulties and has rarely been successful. A case study of Darfur in Western Sudan shows that targeting can be improved. The key is to focus not just on safeguarding current income and food consumption, but also on long term livelihood interventions that reduce vulnerability; and to do this with programmes which are geographically specific, self?targeting in administra…
Why are Rural People Vulnerable to Famine
It is now generally accepted by researchers (although not by governments) that famines are caused as much by act of man as by act of god. But our understanding of famine is still quite rudimentary, and what little we know is rarely translated into policies to prevent or control famine. Few people would argue that we clearly understand what makes people vulnerable to famine, or that we can predict that one group will be vulnerable while another wi…
Seasonality and Poverty
There is great diversity in the way different groups of people are affected by seasonality and cope with it. Greater understanding of this diversity is required if policy and project interventions are to strengthen the position of poor rural people. The damaging periods of time can sometimes be very short, regularly crippling families in their efforts to accumulate resources and protect their health. In sub?Saharan Africa seasonality is clearly a…
Conclusion
The Future of African Hunter-Gatherer and Pastoral Peoples
Marginal Societies at the Modern Frontier in Asia and the Arctic
Sahelian Pastoralists
A large number of fields of study are relevant to the genesis of the Sahel famine of 1968-1973, so I have chosen to focus this review on three issues that seem to me the most important: (a) some aspects of the Sahelian pastoral economy and its relation to wider market economies; (b) the demography of Sahelian pastoralists; (c) changes in the last half century, corresponding to the period from the imposition of French colonial rule. Hard informati…
