Capture of baseline data and detailed stakeholders analysis for the Livestock for Livelihood Project in four (4) transboundary ecosystems: the W-Arly-Pendjari (WAP) Parks Complex, the Karamajong Cluster, the area around Lake Tchad and the Fouta Djallon Foothills.

African Union Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) now invites interested applicants to apply for the consulting position on Baseline data collection and detailed stakeholders analysis for the Livestock for livelihood Project.

The Livestock for livelihood Project aims at strengthening livestock-based livelihoods and improving food and environmental securities in Arid and Semi Arid lands through improved Natural Resources and livestock management practices in response to increased risks and vulnerability from Climate Change.

Judicious management of natural resources, including conflict management and adaptation/mitigation to climate change, is necessary to avert severe ecological disasters and continuous conflicts. As expected, sustainable management of scarce natural resources becomes even more complex in the situation of cross-border land use systems where different regulatory and institutional frameworks apply and where common transboundary mechanisms have to be set-up to allow adequate Natural Resource Management.
