The purpose of this Toolkit is to provide funding agencies, diplomatic staff, and aid practitioners with strategic guidance on how to design interventions to prevent or resolve conflict associated with cross-border pastoralism. Drawing on a wealth of research and programmatic experience across the Sudano-Sahel, from Mali to Sudan, the Toolkit serves three objectives: 1. Provide a framework for interveners to assess the sources of pastoralism-related conflict in their own context and identify opportunities for engagement; 2. Highlight lessons learned from the Sudano-Sahel on “what works;” 3. Promote multi-sectoral collaboration by illustrating how development, conservation, and trade all play an essential role in addressing this crisis.
