Adapting Livestock Management to Climate Change in the Northwestern Lowlands of Eritrea [Eritrea]
The pastoralists in Eritrea are facing vulnerabilities of their livestock production system and related livelihood opportunities to long-term climate variability and change. The Adapting Livestock Management to Climate Change in the Northwestern Lowlands of Eritrea is NAPA-follow-up project, and its goal is to enhance adaptive capacity of livestock production system in the Kerkebet area by tackling declining productive and reproductive efficiencies of the pastoral system. This project is expected to produce three outcomes:
- Mainstreaming climate change risk management techniques into livestock management system.
- Enhancement of technical capacities amongst communities and relevant institutions on integrating climate change risks into livestock and water management.
- (a)Learning lessons from practices of adaptation of livestock management
(b)Establishment of knowledge management system.
