A Chapter on Pastoralism 2006 |
|
Pastoralist Forum Ethiopia
(PFE) has participated in the consultation process to
develop A Plan for Accelerated and Sustained Development
to End Poverty (PASDEP) since Sep. 2005. The Forum has
contributed a lot during the First Generation PRSP too.
The Chapter on Pastoralism depicted in the SDPRP can
be mentioned as the main contribution made on the behalf
of the pastoralists. Cognizant of the less treatment
pastoralists have received in the draft PASDEP, PFE
consulted its members and based on subsequent consultation
of the pastoralists and partners in various fora such
as national conferences on pastoral development, pastoralist
day, training workshop, and results on previously made
PRSP consultation, has developed this CHAPTER ON PASTORALISM
to be included in the PASDEP. Download

Roundtable on Drought and Famine
in Pastoral Regions of Ethiopia |
|
 The
current famine that has hit Ethiopia is the third in
three decades, in addition to the bi-annual crises of
food shortage. This chronic problem has made it necessary
for the Forum to ask such questions as: what is there
that can be done beyond immediate humanitarian relief?
Can the country go on with a contentious famine that
claims lives and destroys the meager economic base of
its people? The Forum believes that the current drought
and the impending famine in the country in general,
and in the pastoral regions in particular, calls for
debates on the fundamental issues of misconceptions
and flaws within the prevailing macro-economic policy.

Proposed Pastoral Development
Policy Recommendations |
|
Pastoralists in Ethiopia like
in the other African countries have continuously suffered
from a long history of political, economical, and socio-cultural
mariginalization. The pastoralists problems have been
exacerbated by the recurrent and complex natural calamities
such as drought, flood, disease etc. Due to both artificial
and natural calamities, the pastoralists have emerged
as the poorest of the poor. Today, the Federal Government
of Ethiopia gives considerable attention reducing pastoral
problems. The major policy changes so far include the
constitutional right of pastoralists not to be displaced
from their own land, and power decentralization to the
Regions. The government has recently established Pastoralist
Area Development Department (PADD) under the Ministry
of Federal Affaires, and has assigned a Pastoral Affairs
Standing Committee in the Parliament. In addition, a
conference on Pastoral Area Development was launched
for the first time in last April 2002. Because of the
initiatives of the government to reformulate federal
policy on pastoralism and the need to support such changes,
Pastoralist Forum Ethiopia (PFE) thus proposes the following
pastoral development policy recommendations. Download

A Chapter on Pastoralism
2002 |
|
The Federal Government of
Ethiopia earlier prepared the Interim Poverty Reduction
Strategy Paper (IPRSP). The Ethiopian IPRSP as it is
presented by the government lacks representativeness
and mentioned very little about poverty status and mitigation
measures of the pastoral community and areas. However,
the pastoralists need to have their voices heard and
integrated to the center in decision making of national
issues through representation including participation
in the process of the PRSP. They should benefit from
the PRSP, a policy of inclusiveness, consultation, and
focus on poverty reduction strategies. Download
