Pastoralism in Practice: Monitoring Livestock mobility in Contemporary Sudan

Given the spotlight on livestock mobility, this study aimed to develop and pilot new methods and approaches to investigating livestock mobility, in order to review the resilience of the pastoralist systems and related adaptations, and the wider trends influencing this. This report follows the completion of the development and pilot phase of the research and presents selected findings from the first three to five months of monitoring. While this is sufficient to pilot the methodological innovation, it is insufficient to capture all the seasons within the annual cycle.
